Anybody wanna take a look at some gauge readings

Engine off AC off


Engine on AC on



After running rpm to 2000 momentarily not much change




Engine still running AC off




Disclaimer: I don't know anything

It looks to me though like a restriction in the system. However doesn't it look like the low and the high are trying to equalize somewhat quickly?

Watching videos etc I thought if the expansion valve was stuck closed it the high and low side pressures would take a while to equal back out.

Any suggestions welcome thanks

you are very low on charge. engine off and engine running ac off readings mean nothing.
i charge by this chart:

my bet is it will take 2-3 cans.
AND the compressor clutch must be engaged, or it will not take any refrigerant.

Sorry that's all I got before I saw your reply




Hope it doesn't leak out.
