While I was out of town my wifes 98 crv's A/C compressor clutch started to click on and off when at idle. If she pushed on the gas just a little it would stop. It was also idleing at 500 or sometimes below. I told her I would check the idle when I got home.
Well my genius brother came over and told her the freon was low. Then he put 134a in the system without a gauge. She drove it 2 or 3 times and when I got home it was blowing warm air and was way overcharged when I put my guage on it. I evacuated it until it was right. The air is cold again and the clutch is not clicking on and off anymore but there is a 5 second hissing sound behind the glovebox. It happens often while running the A/C and when I turn it off.
