i have a 1998 ford escort i just bought it a new a/c generator and i can seem to figure out where to put the a/c orifice tubedoes any one know if so please help me thankz
i would suggest not doing thatjust place it on the rackthe dough get firm when you cook it in an ovenI also suggest you get yourself a pizzaZZ
NoDon't use the cardboardJesusHow did you even figure out how to post a question on here?!
Hope you are kidding but in any case the best pizza is cooked right on the rack!
No cardboard! Just pre-heat your oven and place the pizza directly on the oven rack.
In Fords, the orifice tube is typically located in the evaporator core's lower line, inserted where the solid aluminum line meets and connects to the flexible line running the remaining distance to the condenser coreFirst depressurize the systemIdeally an AC shop will remove and recover the refrigerantLoosen the fitting at the evaporator core's lower line using two wrenches as to not toque the evaporator core lineNormally, the orifice tube will appear as a plastic tip protruding, which can be easily removed with needle nose pliersSometimes they are inserted backwards and will require removal with long and narrow needle nose pliers to fish it outTo replace, pre-oil the o-rings on the new orifice tube to ease insertion, and push in with your finger being careful not to force and slip the o-rings from their groovesIt's also common to replace the dryer/accumulator when the system has been opened to atmosphere for any period of time, however that's your callIf the system was prior pressurized and the repair made quickly, you can probably skip this stepIf you do opt to replace the dryer/accumulator, you'll need a special but inexpensive tool to remove the old dryer where it connects to the upper evaporator core lineThe new dryer will have an odd plastic piece that facilitates mating, do not removeIt will fall off when attaching to the evaporator coreNo tool is required for mating, the fittings will simply snap togetherIt is also standard practice to pour out and measure any refrigerant oil held captive in the old dryer, adding an equivalent amount of new refrigerant oil to the new dryer before installingFully evacuate your system using a vacuum pump, as this removes useless air that would reduce system capacity, but far more importantly removes any water vapor presentDon't skip this step, even if you have to rent a vacuum pumpNext, add the proper amount of refrigerantYou should be good to go.
