    Help with RECHARGING AC system!!!!
    Posted by: roughyear on 2008-05-26 16:04:47

    ok, i was finally able to purchase an adapter to put on the low side of the AC unti to attempt a recharge... my system is blowing warm air and is in need of a recharge.

    so.. i plug in the adapter, then i turn on the car and then i plug in the R134a refrigerant and wow the tank is in the HIGH yellow range/reading, about 65PSI!!! so when i turn on the AC, the reading drops to about 50PSI, but the guage is still in the YELLOW range which is HIGH, according to the canister this means the system is already OVERCHARGED!!!

    so what am i to do, should i bleed the system a little to get the reading down into the GREEN range, which means undercharged and fill it up, or should i just pull more of my hair out.

    the last time the system was charged was about 3yrs ago, and the indy stated at the time that the system had dye in it already, probably from a previous leak/recharge attempt.

    HELP!!!!
