    A/C Orfice Tube?

    Ok, so where is the orfice tube? I know it is inside one of the lines. So does any one know where it is and how to replace it?

    thanks

    evaporator

    The orfice tube is by the evaporator, look at the line, and you will see that their is crimp marks on the a/c evaporator tube, after you recovery the refrigerant break the line apart and you can pull out the tube with a pick or neeble nose pliers. Important make sure when you reinstall the long screen inlet end towards the condenser.

    ah, i was hoping you meant undo the bolts. I don't know about all the lines, but the ones i see all look like they bolt together. i guess that makes it a little easier to work on.

    unfortunately i took the car in for a leak test to figure out why it wasn't holding a vacuum, easy simple bad gasket. only one problem, i didn't put the orifice tube in, DOH. So i have a complete charge now, and a 2 dollar part sitting in the garage, silly me.

    well at least if I ever want to piss away more freon and money filling it back up I can put the tube in, lol...

    Would it be in the line connection below the line that comes from the dryer? I noticed the new dryer connects to something back at the firewall area. There was two connections, the dryer and one below it.

    is that the one?
