TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
APPLICATION
1979-85 RX7
SUBJECT
Inoperative A/C
REFERENCE
Mazda Motors Corp., Service Bulletin, No. 16 009/85, September, 1985
CONDITION & CAUSE
Some 1979-85 RX7 vehicles may exhibit an inoperative air conditioning
system. This condition may be caused by a variety of factors blowing
the fusible plug on the receiver/drier.
REPAIR
1) If the fusible plug on the receiver/drier is blown, replace the
receiver/drier and evacuate the A/C system.
2) Check the tension of the compressor drive belt. With center span of
belt pushed with a force of 22 lbs. (10 kg), deflection should be
5/16-3/8" (8-10 mm). Ensure the fins on the condenser are not clogged
or restricted and clean as necessary.
3) Attach an air conditioning manifold to the suction and discharge
fittings. If the high pressure gauge shows excessive pressure, check
the fan drive clutch and replace as necessary.
