    Chevy lumina 1995
    I have chevy limina 1995. It's AC is not working though two times I used leackage detector and filled gas. It works for few hours and then stops. It consume too much gas, approximate one gallon per 10 mile. It's transmission is proper. Though it'sm run on road as there is no alternate to me. Can anybody help me for right direction for repairing so that I donot have to spend money improperly.

    . Replace the air filter, after cleaning the air box.

    Low side gauge pressure should be 36 psi for the 3.1L engine and 42 psi for the 3.8L engine.
