the first one is the smaller port that the gauge fit on, the second pic is the bigger port that the gauge wouldnt fit on(the line that runs to the accumulator) and the third pic is the wrong one, sorry hold on

Yea, you are talking about the line size and I'm talking about the service port size.

thats where im getting confused and sorry but the small line has the small port and the big line which goes to the accumulator and is rubber hose part way is the bigger port. so that would mean that the suction line doesnt go to the accumulator. just runs from the evap to the condensor as pictured in the first pic at the passenger wheel well

I said the one closest to the accumulator, not the one that goes to it.

if thats the case then the pressure said it was 130-140 psi and is at what the high pressure is supposed to be.sorry for going back and forth but the manual i have says different. can u look at these two and tell me which one is suction line. the line that goes to the accumulator is the first link and the line close to the accumulator is the second link.
