You have a high and low port take the cap off. Most 99% of the time is low port to put it in

I don't have a pic but the low side port is kinda hidden under the intake piping between the oil filter cap and the ecm module.Kinda under your throttle body.

ps..if you need a refill, you have a leak. hence a shop. if you over do it cuz the psi in the system is fine, youll blow the unit. I assume your ac is ither not working or not feeling cold, either way, a shop will be your best bet. You may just need a flush and new fridgerant. Adding that crap will do harm, not good.

I need a picture of the location of the low press service port for AC. I do not want to remove the covers on the top of the motor unless necessary.

Sounds like you'd be better off going to a proper repair shop

Don't put these refill stuff in your a/c system. If you have a leak, it needs to be repair by technician and refilled with good r-134a. If you get any problems later, shops will detect the **** you put in and won't work on your car. Trust me I work in a dealership and it already happened.

The reason anyone can buy ac kits off the shelf is because it's not actually refrigerant, it will work in the system but it drys out o - rings and seals very fast, and over time you will have leaks everywhere, and as stated above most ac shops have identifiers (my shop) if we detect anything but r-134a we won't touch it because it will contaminate our machine.
