      Hey Eric, I did actually read all the way through this manual and no where does reference miles. http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/AAD0606OM/enu/AD0606OM.pdf

        Here is a chart that goes over this very thing

        http://www.rtitech.com/downloads/News/Oil%20Chart%20-%20Compressor.pdf

        “When replacing the following components, add the amount of oil indicated to the new component.
        Accumulators on any System 3 ozs
        Condensers on any System 2 ozs
        Evaporators on Chrysler Systems 2 ozs
        Evaporators on Ford & GM Systems 3 ozs
        Receiver Driers on any System 1 oz

            2 OZ is pretty standard for an AC Condenser

                I’ve only been working on freind’s and family’s cars for the last 6 months or so. So far it has been an enjoyable experience, and I think that a lot of that has to do with knowing my limitations and not taking on a job that I’m not confident that I can repair…

                There have been some jobs that I’ve got halfway through and realized that I had bit off more than I could chew so I put everything back together and suggested they bring it to a licensed shop. I do not have a problem admitting that I can’t fix something, and I have found that when I tell someone that this is the case there is an initial disappointment but in the end they are thankful that I was honest.

                I like being the ‘Go To’ guy but I will not jeopardize my integrity or my friend’s well being by taking on a task that I cannot complete to insure a safe car after I am done.

                That being said… I have had a blast working on other’s cars. Plus every once in a while I get to buy a new tool to get the job done properly so I am building up my experience and tool box at the same time. I like helping people save money, plus when I need help in other areas I have an open door to ask for help with some expectancy of receiving said help because I’ve helped them in the past. It’s a win win!!

                        Sorry I over looked your engine type in your original post. The D16Z6 doesn’t have EGR.

                            DX, VX, or HX? I only ask because the VX and HX had an EGR Valve and this could be causing your car to stall if the valve is clogged.

                                I’m not an expert and I’m just letting you know what worked for me. I’m sure there are some techs here that could tell you for sure.

                                I have a 98 GMC Jimmy and had to replace this part. I just cleaned the existing 4 pin connector with some contact cleaner and made sure there was no corrosion. I didn’t even use the new connector.

                                I have had no problems. I’m assuming they send the new connector just in case the new unit connection differs from the old connector, but I am no expert.
