1993 LS400 AC Schrader Valve Core Replacement Part
Hi,
I have leaking both the low and high side AC valve cores leaking on a 93 LS400.
Are these valves replaceable? Assuming they are, what type/size of valves, part # or where to order from?
Thanks
Edwin.

Which type of Schrader valve core?
Does anyone know which type of Schrader valve core is used in the AC on my '91 LS400? (and are they all the same throughout?)
I'm still running the original R12, in case that matters. The high and low side ports both seem to leak a little and I'd like to replace the valve cores. I've been successful at pulling the poppet tighter, and finding the best angle to slow the leak almost to a stop. And with the caps on, nothing is detected by my leak detector, but still I'd like to fix it right.
My guess for now is "Standard". I think this is the GA1528 as shown on http://acvalvecores.com/products.html

AC Issues
Not sure where to post this - 1998 ls 400. Had the comp. clutch fail, so replaced the compressor with a reman. denso and replaced the dryer. Vacuumed the system down and held a vacuum just fine. Problem is that I can not get the system to take more than about 1/2 a can of 134. Had it vacuumed, released the first can, began to fill, then just stopped filling. Started the engine, turned on AC to see if that would help, but would still not draw it in. compressor engages for about 3-4 seconds, then the light starts flashing and the compressor shuts off. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx.

I was doing it myself and seems like others have posted on here that they were able to at home after compressor replacement. Have had successi in the past with a Ford after replacing the compressor. I would assume you are correct about low pressure shutting it off but would expect the suction side of the lines to draw it in.

pull another vacuum, run a bucket of HOT water, hold can upside down in the hot water while filling system.. dont burn yourself.. if you hold the can upright the freon goes in as a liquid, upside down it is a gas, the heat just forces it in the system... that is the cheap way without pro equipment..

System charging
Make sure that you have your charging hose properly oriented ; there should be a center post inside the connector that depresses the Schrader valve when you screw it on. Otherwise you will have problems getting the freon through the valve.
