Default a/c clogged?

not the condensor fins,,,as if mud was in it, but in the system itself....does this happen?

my low pressure side reads 90psi with the a/c off, and jumps to 100 when i turn it on, then the compressor cycles on and off, runss for a second, off for 5, repeat.. only blows hot air

Can get sludge build up, If you decide to redo everything you can flush the system. They have a/c flush at the parts strore.

you might have a problem, 90 seams normal with the ac off as the system will equalize pressure mines about 120 i think with it off. how ever when the ac's on the low pressure side should drop down lower then with it off. between 25 and 65. the compressor would also cycle on and off if there isnt enough in the system.
