We don't know what shift he works so it is better to give him at least 24 hrs. to respond. Plus he needs time to get the reading in order to continue. Also Florida is F'n hot during the summer, he will be back....

Ill be able to work on the AC this coming friday and have the readings for you. Thanks for your help and patience.

Going to add one more pressure reading to the test. It is referred to as static pressure which is the pressure in the system after both the high and low sides have equalized. This occurs once the system has been shut off and takes a while for it to occur. It indicates the ballpark charge level within the system.

Take the reading before the system is turned on so it will be the first one you take. After you have the reading the system can be turned on for the high and/or low side readings.

After the system has been running for a few minutes, grab the low side line and see how cold it is & whether it is sweating. Also look for any lines that are icing up.

Yesterday at around 5pm the temp outside was 90. I attached a can of EZ chill to the low end port. Turned ac on full and got a reading of 25psi. Started slowly filling the low end port but never got up past 35 psi. Ran out of freon in the can (had used it before on other car). Getting cold air from front vents but all rear vents are still blowing hot air. Should I continue to add more freon?

It is your call. If you have a leak, it will all leak out. For the cost of the little cans it won't take many to equal the cost of a 30lb tank. From memory the low side should be around 35-37 at that temp. What is the investment cost so far on the cans and how many oz have you added?

If you're going to invest in the basic starter tool set for a/c then the 30lb tank is the way to go.

An example basic set is: Bottom-line pricing on FJC KIT6 at ToolTopia.com

(no affiliation with any of the above companies - good price on the 134 though being DuPont)

Hot A/C Air

Just had my 2011 Expy in shop for hot air on passenger side with cold air on driver's side/rear. They replaced an actuator in the dash and corrected it. Have to take it back though - it now makes a loud whistling noise when fan's on high.
