R12 or R134a?

Did you add refrigerant to the system?

What was the ambient temp and idle speed when pressure reading were taken?

Was the condenser fan running?

 

R12 or R134a? 134

Did you add refrigerant to the system? Nope, but the pressure seems high

What was the ambient temp and idle speed when pressure reading were taken? Around 90f

Was the condenser fan running? Yes

 

While spraying the condenser with cold water from a garden hose, how do the high and low pressure readings change with the engine held at 1500 rpm idle speed and A/C running on recirc and MAX blower speed?

 

High pressure drops to 180 and the low to the mid 20's. I thought that the fan was running before, but it didn't come on while I was running the water.

 

^That's the problem.

Fix the fan and then go from there.

 

Yep, it was the fan. All working great now - Thanks!
