Hello, all:
Finally managed to install three new lines and the new compressor this week. I flushed out the evaporator and the condenser. And they are clean. All sealed up and looked good. Pulled a vacuum and it held. Added about 8 ounces of PAG 46- its an R134a car now. Hooked up the manifold and began to recharge the system. It took maybe ten ounces of R134 and stopped taking any more. Compressor clutch would turn on for half a second then off for three. Maybe did this for three minutes. I stopped so as not to destroy anything.
But maybe I did. Any ideas why it will not take in any more R134? I added the PAG to the compresoor before installing the manifolds. And all gaskets are new and were lightly coated with PAG during install. Only option is to try a shop and vac it out. Unless I did something wrong.
Getting hot and definitely need good ac this summer.
Thanks.
