O.k so I recently replaced my A/C Compressor and TXV (the drier was the wrong part), along with new seals and a new pressure sensor. I took it to a shop to have it evacuated and serviced. $250 later they ended up removing some of the lines to figure out why it didn't turn on (there was no relay because I removed it to prevent it from inadvertently coming on). Long story short, new parts, unwanted $250 of labor (inspection, vacuum, and charge plus r134a).
My A/C doesn't blow cold at all! I was so frustrated that I bought a manifold gauge set, more r134a, and did a little research. Apparently A/C is an art. So, this is my problem. I pulled vacuum again (after a little EPA violating discharge) for 30 mins, let it stand for 40 mins; no leaks. Then I re-serviced it back up with 32oz. of r134a. Still hot air.
The pump will only come on for less than a second at a time. So I jumped the relay to keep it engaged at max fan max A/C I still get hot air.
This is the weird part my low gauge reads 15hg of vacuum at 1500 rpm and my high gauge wont go past 140hg ; it's 65 degrees out. Still hot air from the vents. Please help! I am going to order a new receiver drier today, but what else could be the problem? There is no leaks, any where. So I know I can rule that out. Should I put my old TXV back in when I swap out my drier?
If I am to understand this correctly I should see between 35-45 on the low side and 160-195 on the high right?
Please help, I live in Tucson and summer is right around the corner. It's only 65 degrees out now, but with black t-tops and black leather I need A/C now.
Thanks guys!
P.S. Before I replaced everything the A/C worked great until all the refrigerant leaked out (which only took about a minute from the input shaft seal leak).
