How can I make my E-150 Econoline air conditioner colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why do I get hot air from my E-150 Econoline A/C?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your E-150 Econoline’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my E-150 Econoline use gas?

Your E-150 Econoline’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

What does it mean if the A/C in my E-150 Econoline smells like vinegar?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your E-150 Econoline to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my E-150 Econoline’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your E-150 Econoline’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Ford E-150 Econoline A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Ford E-150 Econoline A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Ford vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1993 Ford E-150 Econoline A/C systems. Bring your Ford E-150 Econoline to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1993 Ford E-150 Econoline A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Ford E-150 Econoline A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Ford E-150 Econoline

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1993 Ford E-150 Econoline, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1993 Ford E-150 Econoline A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Ford E-150 Econoline A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford E-150 Econoline A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1993 Ford E-150 Econoline? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your E-150 Econoline’s A/C!
