transmission fluid level is great, after and before we changed the filter.

Today i had a much bigger problem though...

Power stearing went out, gas pedal didnt seem to respond to engine at all (felt like it went into neutral) pushed it down into 3rd and 2nd to see if Drive messed up. RPMs reved in 2nd, no change in gas response.
Pulled on side the road, restarted car. works fine.

compressor kicks on when i turn the A/C on. why not convert it?

-_- bought the car cause it was a doctors car, engine just as clean as a new car off the lot. of course everything goes out now...

If the compressor is running, get some gauges and check the pressures.

Odd thing happend..

went to a shop down the road there were good friends with. went to fill up with 134a, apparently it has allready been converted -_-
waited a good while for it to fill up, but nothing happend... he checked it, it was full of freon... *slaps head again*
i found some vacuum lines and pushed them in just cause i know they wiggle out sometimes...
start the car, Everything kicks on.... Cold air (50 at vent), auxiliary fan kicks on, even shifts alot better (but still a SMALL flare sometimes).

so yea... check your vacumm tubes boys and girls before anything else...
now ima have to find a diagram of the vacuum system, run through it all. replace cause i know its cheap, and it should all work... "should"...


although now i wonder if when it died on me today, did something get reset? its like a whole new car now... hard to beleave it was just a vacuum that was barely loose.

Thanks again everyone
