Default AC won't blow cold..

It blows air, and but its not cold, might I need to get it recharged, or is there anyway to tell that I need a new compressor or condenser or something else?

I'm almost positive that there's no leaks and this lack of AC is killing me, Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I have a 98' XJ Limited if that info is needed..

Those home recharging kits are a waste of time. They don't work properly, and the chance of damaging your system is very high. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and take it to a shop that has the equipment and experience to properly fix your system.

if you were close, i'd say bring it over and we'll hook up the gauges and see what it's doing.

Good choice, I tried to use one of those recharge kits and they suck. I got a $20 guage that I cant use and a can full of crap.
