Hey ... I got my AC working again !!!!
Out of blue !!!
You must be right Ibub....
I feel much better now... the Ac is working... the "flames" happened only on the first day I drove after washing it...
On the way back from work yesterday it was hotter than in the morning and as soon as I got home I checked under the hood.... no invisible "flames"...
And the best part...

No more pinging !!!
I made it !!! I fixed the vaccum hose that had a cut !!
Thanks all of you guys !!!!
