ask your honda dealership if your car used a TEV system or a CCOT system. if it uses a TEV system, there are two possiblities. one is that it's low on refrigerant. there will be a silver can somewhere in your engine bay, and there will be a small glass window on the top. run your a/c and look for bubbles in the sight glass. if you see bubbles, then it's low. you can buy recharge kits just about anywhere. if you don't see bubbles, then the screen on the TEV is probably partially blocked. you'll have to have it serviced by a shop with the right equipment. you could do it yourself, but it's dangerous, illegal, expensive and a big pain in the ass. my guess would be the colgged TEV. if it's a CCOT system, then there will still be a silver can in your engine bay, but it will be bigger, and have a two wire electrical connector instead of a sight glass. if that's what you have, then disconnect the connector, and there will be a small screw between the two terminals. turn it counterclockwise a little bit at a time untill the evaporator stops freezing. my 91 has a TEV system, but honda might have changed it when they changed body styles.
