Wow, could you be anymore vauge. The accumlator should be cold, even more so at the bottom of it. the line coming off the evap should be cool, but not as cold as the supply. what kind of truck are you working on?, what refrigerant?, whats your pressure readings? whats the ambient temp? how much superheat do you have at the accumlator? the more info you can give us, the more we can help you.
