just got my 95 Sc 400 from a older person and the car has been sitting for a long while got it in jan05 and never thought about the air conditioning
well turned it on the other day the air compressor comes on fan works ect but the air never really get cold seems to be cool on low fan but not to the point where it would do anything on a nice hot summer day I'm in Virginia Beach and it really hasn't got hot yet since the compressor is coming on I was thinking it has to have some freon 134 in it is there anything else I can check or do before I take to pep boys to get a AC check! car set in garage for about a year started occasionally but not moved ?
Thanks in adavnce

Same problem on a ES300, cool but not cool enough on a really hot day.
Turns out a check valve was working off and on. It took the shop the good part of a day checking it over and over until it malfunctioned for them. A $39.00 part..$240 labor, Working good now.
