Chevy Prizm 1998
4-1.8L F/inj. (16V) DOHC (8)
My air conditioning was completely replaced about 3 years ago.
About 3 weeks ago while driving through a traffic Orlando, my car started to over heat from moving so slow in traffic. Before it hit the red, I moved to a lane that exits the highway. By getting the airflow, the car returned to normal temperature and I cut back into traffic, now moving, and headed home.
During this overheating, the Air Conditioning stopped working.
The clutch was not engaging so I charged the system with R-134a. (As directed by Interdynamics)
The clutch now engages, but I still only get hot air.
The hot/cold vent moves manually via a cable and works fine.
There are two fans, side-by-side, behind the radiator.
The fan on the passenger side does not come on.
Can you tell me where I should be checking next?
