Re: 98 civic not cooling w/ high press temp

Ok..I removed evap and txv. Then I removed txv from evap and solvent flushed evap. I then replaced txv and used a SS hose clamp to mount sensing bulb in same spot. Sounds good. But among the new parts, did you get the special clip for the TXV sensing bulb? I think that would be preferred over the S...

Re: 98 civic not cooling w/ high press temp

Looks like it’s a Sanden.
Ordered OEM TXV, bulb clamp, and wrap and R/D. Will measure what comes out of all components before I flush.

Thanks guys.

Re: 98 civic not cooling w/ high press temp

I also suspected the TXV. I did not suspect trapped air. Had the pump on for an hour, but there may be multiple issues that could cause the air to be trapped. Will replace drier, TXV, and flush since the parts are relatively inexpensive. Have a few questions: 1) What’s the best way to remove the oil...

Amb @ 1ft.: 91.4F LP: 15 psi @ idle HP: 175 psi @ idle LP: 5 psi @ 2000rpm HP: 280 psi @ 2000rpm (psi goes higher as rpms goes higher) 23oz weighed in w/ scale Receiver/dryer was not replaced. I believe TXV is original. System seemed to have excess oil because more of it sprays out when connecting/d...

98 civic not cooling w/ high press temp

1998 civic had poor cooling so, system was recovered and evap, txv, and blower pulled. Evap and blower were covered in leaves and organic sludge. Evap and txv were coil cleaned and flushed. Condenser was also coil cleaned. System “seemed” to have excess oil and dye so, evap & txv were put back w...
