How do I make my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon air conditioning 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 is my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon A/C blowing hot air?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

What causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon A/C run on gas?

The air conditioning system in your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

My E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon to produce a vinegary odor.

What is causing my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

Damaged or worn components in your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road.

Common Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon A/C problem you may encounter.

Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1988 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case.
