Question

Have you checked to see if you are low on freon?

If you are low, the car disables the A/C.

However, if I were you, unless you REALLY know what you are doing, you should take it to a shop. Just about any shop can handle an A/C charge. It's not rotary specific.

Just FYI, I had mine recharged at Goodyear last summer.

Exclamation

You probably want to take the car to a mechanic. I think you need specialized equipment to check a/c levels. R12 or freon as it is commonly know as is quite expensive. Has anyone here tried an R134 conversion on a FD, and if so how is it performing. If your system is low on freon now would be the time to convert it, as it is illegal (rightfully so IMO) to vent freon to the atmosphere.

Take it to an a/c shop. The stock a/c works pretty damn well. I'm in South Florida and it keeps everything nice and frigid.... once the car is moving.
