New Problem With A/C

Okay, so now I have figured out why I was reading like 100psi on the low side port. I checked it with the truck off. Hooked my manifold gauges up to the high and low side, after a new vaccum and re-charge. with truck off, the low side climbs higher than the high side, with truck running after compressor clutch kicks on, high side moves to about 250-255psi and low side drops to about 40-45psi.

Still no COLD air, blows out cool air, but not when adding freon, air is hot when adding freon, cool when not. I dont have a temp. gauge to use in the truck so I dont know what the temp is coming out, but it aint cold I do know what. Is my compressor junk, or could my expansion valve be clogged???

SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You -

The low side is still a bit high. It should be around 30-32 psi. Are you sure you added the correct amount of refrig? If you have the correct amount of refrig., I would check the Evap temp sensor. If it is not functioning it won't allow the compressor to cycle properly. Also every time I have opened the system, I have changed the dryer bottle.
