2004 toyota tacoma orifice tube

SOURCE: A/C Orifice Tube on Sunfire

Hello lindabg68: My name is Roger and I can answer your question for you. First make sure the system has no pressure. Locate the high side refrigerant line that comes up from the bottom of the condenser. Not the top line. Remove the bolt holding the line together. You should see the orifice tube in the long side of this tube. Please rate the quality of your answer. This is how we know you received the correct information. Should you need more help please just ask. Thank You for using FixYa. Roger

Hello cptlarry: My name is Roger and I can help you. On the passenger side of the engine compartment. Locate the high side A/C line. This will be a small line called the liquid line. Follow it to the condenser located in front of the radiator. After removing the freon you can split the A/C coupling at the radiator. There are two lines split the one that goes back to the firewall. The orifice tube will be in the condenser end of the line.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the quality of your answer as this way we know you received the correct information. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

in the a/c line.

SOURCE: 1998 buick regal - where is the orifice tube located

the a/c orfice tube if thats what you want it will either be in the inlet line going into the condenor or it will be the hose from condenser to accumulator

Grand Am has an expansion valve. Link below has part number and picture of what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, I do not know precisely. But for the most part auto a/c's are all the same. Below I will describe how to find it. I have also included a aguide to determine system operability that may or may not be helpful. Just trace the system with flow path described below the valve has to be between condensor and evaporator.

Reminder the flow for the a/c system is :
1. From the compressor a high pressure (HP) gas goes to the condenser in front of the radiator.
2. From the condenser a HP liquid goes to an expansion device (orifice tube or expansion valve)
3. From expansion device the low pressure gas enters the firewall to the evaporator.
4. From evaporator the low pressure liquid/gas mixture goes through the dryer back to the compressor suction.

Below is a guide to troubleshoot and check system function. This can be done by most folks.

Look at the front of the ac compressor and have someone turn on the ac from inside the car. The front of the pulley(clutch) will spin when turned on.

If it does not spin, the low pressure switch (LPS) is not satisfied. Meaning there is not enough freon in the system to operate the system. Means low freon capicity because of a leak.

The LPS can be jumpered to cause the compressor to run (clutch to engaged) which will draw the freon in the system.

The LPS is usually a two wire sensor on the suction of the compressor. (between evaporator and compressor) Unplug the sensor and install a jumper, this will engage the clutch. Connect a new can of freon
and fill to system capacity.

The capacity of the ac system will be on a label under the hood, do not overfill. Probably about 2 lbs. Local parts stores (Auto Zone and Advance) will have freon with stop leak. This may help the leak. They also make a freon with a UV dye. I always add a single can with dye so that if stop leak does not work I can find the leak in the future.

The system should be filled until suction pressure is about 30 to 38 psi..
