I have a 3.8 1996 camaro. Last summer I replaced my compressor and had my system recharged and it worked fine. This summer no a/c. I bought a recharge kit thinking i might have a leak, but when i tested the freon levels with it's built in meter it said I was good. Before I take this into the shop, I was hoping someone might be able to give me some ideas of things to check, thanks.

Did you replace the orfice tube. Thats a must change when a new compressor is installed. That might be clogged up. Replace orfice tube and check the expantion valve. If orfice tube is clogged chances are thats the problem.

If thats not the problem then make sure the compressor is turning.
