Default Re: AC pressures running high (Southern Comfort)

did u gauge it? .. low pressure side is about 55 - 65 lbs which is normal...high pressure side should not exceed 265- 285..i have 89 running @ 300 which means the high pressure switch needs to be replaced..it now shut off becuz of the relief presure valve in the compressor which is set @ 300psi

hope this helps

I put the gauge on the low side and it was a bit over 65 very hot out today. but i do notice that the AC cycles a bit more than it should and it blows hot air. usually at a stop light. Gets cool again when I get going.
