😮AC is supposed to be on Max setting with the recirculation button pushed in as well😮 it has to be on Max to get an accurate pressure reading otherwise you could easily overfill it when it's on low and cause a leak in your system from excessive pressure😮

[@NearEDGE]

You can't just look at the gauge on the bottle. You need to look in your engine compartment and see what PSI the manufacturer says it needs to be filled to. You also need to make sure you have the correct coolant mixture for your system.

[@LJsGarage]

That's if you were to evacuate and recharge the system from empty but if it's just low and you have a small leak you could use this to get by is all I was getting at

[@NearEDGE]

@@LJsGarage I mean, it wouldn't matter if you evacuated it or not. It's made to work with a particular pressure if you overfill the system it's not at the correct pressure and in some cases it'll work initially then stop working after a week and then someone will put more in thinking a bad leak, but actually they're loading the the system to the point where it can't effectively run.

[@jaynol4580]

It doesn’t say what psi to fill it to. Just how many ounces. All r134a behaves the same in every system dude

[@NearEDGE]

@@jaynol4580 What car are you looking at that's measuring a pressure regulated system in ounces? Also, not all cars use r134a which is why you need to check that your car even takes it.

[@jaynol4580]

@@NearEDGE ok bud no shit, and what im looking at is called service manuals from 100 of different manufacturers. They literally all just give you an amount in ounces to charge to, then you check your pressures to make sure that given the outside temp and humidity that your system pressures are correct. Theres no spec on pressure because they charge based on temp and humidity which is why you go off a pressure chart, you clearly have never actually worked on automotive hvac bozo

[@buck9739]

Nice truck keep cool

[@LJsGarage]

Thanks, will do! Cant be driving around sweaty lol

[@CODgamerSpades]

It’s only engaged/ spinning if there is the right amount of pressure right?

[@LJsGarage]

Most systems do not have a low pressure switch so if they dont it will spin even when empty and that will eventually kill the compressor

[@mrouija4740]

Ooooh it’s suppose to read once you connect it to your low side? Mine wasn’t reading at all or it was completely empty

[@LJsGarage]

Yeah it should be an instant jump, so if it didn't even move on the guage and you are certain it connected and locked. It must be empty

I have grand Cherokee 2019 limited.. I confused if it’s dual a/c or single a/c !

[@LJsGarage]

When you adjust the temp on the screen there will be two numbers that pop up top left and top right. Pretty positive limiteds have dual climate control (90% sure)

[@dompesky169]

The gauge says it’s good and full when the car is off but then when I start my car and turn the ac on it drops all the way to empty. Then when I turn the car off it goes back up to full, what does this mean??

[@LJsGarage]

When the cars off the compressor isn't working so the pressure equalizes and reads whatever the temp is in the lines essentially so not the true reading

[@nikosuave4779]

So you dont have to create vaccuum before adding refrigerant? I have a car that leaks and i plan on replacing the hose. If i was doing a total refill wouldnt i have to create vaccuum?

[@LJsGarage]

Correct always pull a vacuum after repairing the leak and refilling. It dries the system and gives you the chance to leak test before adding. In a pinch if you need to add some for a trip or something you can skip the vacuum but the system won't be running efficiently

The system needs to be evacuated first, then you need to find out the capacity of what’s in the system vs what it holds is 1.5 lbs or 1 lbs etc… then you can recharge properly..

My AC has not been re-charged in yrs...was working great last summer until late summer....would turn AC on as driving and would not get cold, then about 15 minutes into my drive home...it gets cold and stays cold until I got home....I can spin the clutch freely....any suggestions?

my issue is, when i push the freon in for not even a second, it goes to red, and then back down to zero. i also jumped the pressure switch to keep the compressor engaged because i just vacuumed my system and the pressure is to low for the clutch to engaged by itself. also when it goes to red, i can feel the pressure until it goes back down to zero. help.

That sounds like a substantial leak or a leak within the compressor itself

[@quitespy8756]

I do not recommend this they are usually filled with sealant that can clog your system and may not have the right type of gas your vehicles A/C requires so it will not run at optimum performance and can and quite possibly will lead to damage or decrease in performance as the system gets clogged due to the sealant being dispersed through your system.

[@paleo704]

it is certainly not for routine just in a pinch. I agree to a point

Electrical issues would be the next stop (fuses etc)

[@DFWJon]

@@LJsGarageNOT if you ain’t got enough refrigerant in the system to make it kick on. We both know that a compressor will NOT kick on until the pressure gets above the low pressure switch’s pressure point!!! The low pressure switch tell the clutch on the compressor to engage when the pressure gets low and before it starts blowing hot air on the inside, but the other side of that is anything BELOW that low pressure switch setting will keep the clutch from engaging, as well. The clutch will not engage with an empty system. It’ll ONLY engage the clutch when you get the pressure ABOVE that minimum pressure point.
