I bought my '94 explorer about a year ago and the A/C has never blown cold air. I decided to give one of those AC recharge things a try. I put it on there, read the pressure as per the instructions w/ the car running and AC on full blast. I didn't put much in there and when I did the clutch engaged and the belt started slipping and smoking. Now if I an in park and I turn on the AC it stops the engine. If I rev it up a bit and turn it on the belt just slips and it starts smoking real quick.
So I guess my question is, is it just overcharged? I didn't put much of the bottle in... Or is the clutch bad? I don't think it's been used for a few years prior to when I bought it. Everything works just fine without the AC running, belt spins freely as long as the clutch doesn't engage when turning the AC on.
