If you don't have the tools or knowledge, you are better off taking it in to get the ac fix, or just lower the windows.
I have bought a set of manifold gauge anticipating I might need it. I will check pressure today. I thought because A/C stopped all of a suden with a bang it is not due to a leak but I will check and report back.

I don't have all tools and good knowledge which is why I am on this forum. I prefer to get educated and buy the tools even though it is a slow process. Last time I took my X to a garage was 4 years ago.

Lowering window is great advice but after doing it for 3 summer, I thought enough of reminding myself of my childhood memories :-)

I appreciate everyone's input and trying to help. This is a great forum and #1 reason I still have my X.
