Glad that you found the major problem. That is why it will not take anymore freon, the condenser fan has to work in order for the A/C to function properly. I always stick to the stock fan but others here have modified other fans to work.

got a bit over 1lb 134 in and it would not take anymore...

reading on the gauges are... Low side-->65-85psi High side-->150-200psi

I cant get anymore freon to go in and its blowing around 70 deg on max. (ambiant temp around 95 at the time) the compressor is working and there seems to be no other problems

anyone have any idea's?????? Please help, its getting hot in AZ and I have a infant son that should be in AC not a convection oven

If that's with the A/C running your low side is WAY too high. It needs to be around 40. And that's why it won't take anymore.

I had mine at 50+ and mine wasn't cooling much, dropped it down to 40 and it was like a new A/C system.
