ok... so my AC hasnt worked since the swap and i figure now is a good time to wire that crap up. so i have my harness apart and im trying to look at the wiring diagrams to figure out a few things. seems like i need some help.
"ac amplifier" in the diagrams means the main AC compressor, correct? on it, is a plug called A8 (looking at the 5sfe diagrams). the harness goes from there to a plug called IM1 and then 3 wires go to the ECU's 1st plug. where is IM1 located ? is it the white, 5 wire plug that goes from the 3s hanress, and plugs in right behind the glove box?

i did a little ghetto bleeding . fill the low side while venting the high side. it did the trick and now the AC blows ICE COLD ! its so great driving around in a turbo car will all the comforts of a daily driver.
does anyone know the exact PSI our system should be filled to? i did mine to about 35psi. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
