You can't say things like that on this list, Bill!!!!  You and the rest of
your ilk must unsubscribe immediately and join the newly created SHO-bashing

About 2 weeks ago I noticed that the AC seemed a little humid all of a
sudden and I could smell the humidity.  My guess was it was about 5 minutes,
maybe less, that it took me to realize that the AC wasn't cold anymore.  I
turned the AC off and put the windows down.  15 minutes later I tried the AC
again and it was nothing but hot air, and hasn't been any better since.  My
AC has been nice and cold until this point.

I first thought that maybe I was low on R134a, but I kind of doubt it since
this literally happened within a 5 minute period or so.  My car is a 93
thats been retro'd, but I have no idea whats been changed or not changed, it
was done by a previous owner.  I'm going to borrow a friends refilling kit
to see what the pressure looks like, but I was hoping for a few other ideas
of things to check.  Could the AC clutch just stop working all of a sudden
like that?  I'll be checking the gap on it and also try the broomstick bump
to see if its engaging.  I also considered the coil, but when I had one fail
on another SHO, the entire thing seized and tore my belts up.

Might there be a problem with the pressure switch?  I'm hoping there is an
easy solution, I don't want to have to find an AC shop around here, and I'd
like to get this fixed while its still hot out.  Any other trouble shooting
tips or ideas?
