Dear fellow NSX owners,
I was driving my NSX yesterday and decided to turn on the a/c. Since it was around 70 degrees outside, I turned the temperature dial all the way counter-clockwise. I did not get any cold air, just blowing air. When I came home, I checked the engine with the car idling. I noticed the a/c compressor was not engaged. The eye-glass did not register any fluid either (probably since the compressor was not on). I shut-off the engine and tried to turn the compressor by hand, it turned with a little bit of resistance, but I don't think it seized up. I plan on troubleshooting the climate control system this everning. I bought the car 06/04, the a/c worked perfectly with plenty of fluid showing in the eye-glass. I have done searches on a/c problems, but could not find anything simmilar to my issue. The car is original with R-12. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
