Hi new to forums here. I have just purchased a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport that needs a little love. Unfortunately the AC isn't blowing cold (Yeah odd gripe for a jeep right).
So here's the issue -
When hooked up to the gauges the low side (blue) indicates 40psi and doesn't move much with the vehicle running. The compressor seems to kick on then off pretty quick (yes the clutch engages). The high side is going from 125psi down to like 75 pretty quick and rises quick when the compressor kicks on. Compressor is on off on off.
My thought process was low on freon, but why would the low side (blue) be staying relatively stable? blockage? I mean the compressor is working to some extent the high side (red) is spiking when it engages.
I'm new to AC work, but determined to get the AC working. AC is maybe 10 degrees cooler than ambient. It's not hot, but it's not cool and definitely not cold. I do hear the compressor whine a bit when it engages.
Ambient temp was about 85ish F
Thanks in advance!
