I'm also starting to think you may have a restriction in your fixed orifice tube, not much of one, but just enough.

What are the pressures doing now?

Did the system work correctly before you replaced the coil?

I not at my shop to test the pressures but to answer your question, I bought the truck used n the dude said all it needed was to be recharged, yeah bs the coil wasn't in the omhs range for being good and they system had a little but of a charge in it so.

Exclamation Where are you in AZ

Where are you in AZ I’m in Gilbert, AZ and have been doing my A/C myself I’m no pro but I understand what’s going on and have rebuilt my A/C.

Your problem sounds weird but in person I may get it fixed.

If close come on over and we can get this figured out if you want I’m around the 202 and Gilbert Rd If you wish to contact me personally go here. http://www.rp95.com/connt.html

It may be the orifice tube when I did my A/C the first time it was black and gunked up bad surprised I had any A/C at all what pisses me off is a shop worked on my A/C for 5 months and I got nothing fixed by these rip off crooks that is why I started doing my own A/C work.

I can come to you possibly if needed.

Default One other thing

One other thing if the previous owner had it apart moisture got into the system this could be what’s going on also the A/C Receiver Drier/Accumulator may need replacing its shot every time the A/C system is apart you should replace the A/C Receiver Drier/Accumulator that is what removes the moisture.
