still trying to fix the engine air conditioner

[Dan Saari]

We don,t sell freon over the counter in Wisconsin so I picked up a
service kit from a k mart in Michigan yesterday.......upon following
the directions I first wanted to check the system presure with the
gauge that came with the kit.........It registered 65-70 pounds on the
low side....the kit instructions say if its this high to seek
professional help....well, I think we have a few people on this forum
that know air conditioning so if you could email your land line # to my
email address I will give you a call to discuss the next move...I think
maybe the compressor is shot but thats only a
guess........Thanks ...DAN SAARI

Is this low-side pressure with the compressor running?

Dan: With everything off, disconnect the wire from the compressor &
jumper it directly to the Battery. The clutch should engage(Click).
If the clutch is engaged and the pulley turns with the engine running.
the compressor HAS to turn!!

... unless the compressor is seized, in which case you'll fairly
quickly see smoke from the clutch.

In the FWIW department, When I went to recharge my dash air, I found
my "half full" 30 pounder to be empty. So I stopped by to get a new
one this morning. Talk about sticker shock!!!! The price is now
$408!!! Last year I paid around $70 for the same thing. The manager
said that there had been a shortage of 134a lately and that the price
was "all over the place". Might be a good reason to use the roof airs
only.
