I redid the AC last year and replaced the compressor, 2 hoses, condensor, dryer and orifice tube. The only parts I didn't replace were the evaporator and one hose. But the AC really didn't put out and it has gotten worse recently. It is a little better than just the fan but not much; the compressor kicks on and off.
Yesterday I bought a can of R134a and put my low side gauge on. The pressure on the low side would go from 30psi to much higher depending if the compressor had kicked in. I added 1 can. Now the air coming out is quite cool, but the compressor does not shut off. The low side gauge reads a steady 35psi.
1. Do I need to add another can?
2. Have I over filled it?
3. It is totally hosed and I wasted the $700 I spent on it last year.
