1997 tj 2.5l
Okay I’m stumped.
Replaced the following.
Ac condensor
Ac evap
Ac dyer
Ac compressor
Ac liquid line
Ac suction line
Pulled vacuum for 1.25 hours after pulling vacuum to -30 then letting it sit for over 45 minutes and no increases showing loss of vacuum.
Purged lines before refilling with r134a.
Went off weight and did 1.25lbs
High pressure side gets to 350psi
Low pressure side drops and compressor cycles off because it’s at 5psi and kills.
I reclaimed it at a local shop. Repulled vacuum and waited even longer in case there was an air pocket or something in the lines.
Repeated process to exact weight, and same thing. I’m scared to add more refrigerant I don’t want to over charge just in case high pressure switch doesn’t work…. It’s 90° here high humidity so I don’t know if I add more or what. Bypassed the low pressure switch to see if it will equalize and it didn’t just would keep dropping
Do I add more refrigerant since it’s an aftermarket system and have no real idea of what they call for or is there a restriction in the new parts that I just replaced…..
Let it sit rechecked, before starting low side was 80 and high was 100
Help please before I light this thing on fire.
