A/C Pressure

It has been extremely hot down here this week and the A/C seems to be weak, can anyone tell me what the High and Low pressure readings should be? I am going to check it out after work.

The outdoor temp is about 110*, when I run the tests it will be still be between 100-105*

Thanks

Leon

This is just a general AC pressure for that ambient. Perhaps someone else will give you specifics for this system. I'd say 225-250/30ish at 105 degrees F.

Ok here is the readings, at idle it is 32-35 on the low and 250 on the high. At 1500-1700 rpm it was 25-30 low and 270 on the high. These are US General gauges so they are not as accurate probably but pretty close. Does it sound about right?

Sounds good. I had been a little weary about mine as well lately, seems like it just takes a little while longer to cool compared to other vehicles, but it gets nice and cold after a little driving.
