    Here's the thing, did the spark plugs, f*cked it up, fixed it. Changed the oil successfully. Air/cabin filters too.

    Right now, I believe I added too much AC refrigerant into the car and Im getting nothing but warm air (read around that I might have to do a/c evac ugh!!). Letting it run for a minute see how it does after that. But is this all really gonna just lead me to a battery problem???

    Before all that, my MPG was topping at 35 and I live in Florida. It should be 38 AT LEAST...

    It would be easier to comment on your A/C if you could give more of the story. 1) What led you to decide to add refrigerant? 2) How did you do it, and how did you gauge how much? 3) What refrigerant did you use? 4) What diagnostic codes from the A/C are you getting now? Other threads here have the steps to display the A/C codes; no tools are needed.
