Hi Guys

Has anyone come across this problem with the aircon air flow slowing down to almost no air coming out of the vents after the aircon has been running for about an hour? The air flow will return if you turn off the AC for maybe 15-20 minutes If you run the AC again, the air flow will slow down again after a few minutes.

Cheers.

If it isn't the fan speed going down your evaporator core is almost certainly freezing over. Get the system evacuated and checked for leaks, then verify the compressor is working correctly.

If it's freezing the evap core over, then it's not a leak/gassing problem, or a compressor problem. It would be a TX valve problem, not cycling the compressor off when the core gets cold enough. So either the TX valve stuck or the temp sensor come off the core.

I've had a new car with evap core freezing issues, seemingly related to low refrigerant charge. So not impossible but worth checking.

How hard is it to get to the TX valve and the temperature sensor on the core?

Dunno on a 33. The core is buried under the dash on any car and is no fun to get to. The TX valve could be also, or could be on/near the firewall behind the turbos.

It's a job for a fridgy anyway.

Thanks for all the replies.

Super easy! You will need to get the ac degassed before you attempt to remove it. Remove the glovebox, then you can get access to the heater box and undo the 2 ac lines that poke out from the firewall near the turbo. I'm sure there are many detailed threads on this already.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
