Just take it to him apart , get him to flush . Then reassemble . Ask him to ck for restrictions in the high pressure side and low . The flush system I use allows me to flush each part of the system . That is how I would do it . IMHO

You do not want to risk contaminating anything, have the stuff flushed first.

OK, one more question coming out of the top of the compressor is these 2 fittings that are between the compressor and the lines. They look like Ts but one end has a part you screw in to shut off the refrigerant so you can replace the compressor. I don't know what the exact term is for them. And i need 2 new ones. The guys at oreillys are being difficult and saying they cant find them. And a call to ford was no help either. They got a set of numbers on them that says E3TH then below that 19A990 AA. Any ideas on where I can find these and what they are called?
