Hello everyone. I am in need of help, it's hot and I need to know where the air conditioning orfice tube is located at on my 2001 alero. I was told that it was clogged:confused up and that's why my system couldn't be recharged. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Terence

 

Thanks a million oldsfan.

 

If the orifice tube is clogged, you have more problems than a plugged o-tube. The stuff that is plugging it had to come from somewhere, That somewhere is the compressor. The compressor is dead or dying. You have a DV-5 compressor IIRC.
The orifice is located in the line between the condenser and the evaporator. On GM cars it's usually in the evaporator inlet tube.
