ok a friend of mine has a 97 camry and has been having ac issue. i feel bad for her because she doesnt have a lot of money so hopefully yall can help me help her. she has been having ac issues and whats been going on is the ac blew cold then would blow hot. she took it to a auto shop who said it was the compressor well turns out its not. now he said its some thing inside the dash that is clogged. all she knows is the part is around 30 but the labor is 350. she cant remember the part name but she said it was a valve. any help would be great

 

Hi
I feel very bad for ur friend.I am not a car freak but i can only suggest u to visit www.autopartsway.com .Hope this site maybe helpful.Best of luck........................

 

That would be an expansion valve. Signs of that would be the AC blowing cold like normal then progressively getting warmer over time untill it blows ambient temperature. It is kind of a pain to get to hence the labor charges.
