A/C POA help!!

I do believe that my txv valve is tuck in the POA. It will not let the gas go through. So, what are my options? I cant find another POA and I dont know how to get the valve to release...

Re: A/C POA help!!

I would just grab a couple out of a junk yard. One of them should work. While the system is open you may consider converting that new POA to work with R134a. Follow this link where they describe how you make the change:
http://www.autoacforum.com/messagevi...&threadid=7567

About half way down the guy describes hitting a stuck POA valve with 120 psi but it permantly damaged it.

It sounds like the only thing you need to look for is a used POA with the same port orientations. It is all in the above link.
