So I'm troubleshooting my non-functional A/C problem. I jumpered the A/C relay under the hood, and the compressor kicked in as expected. Next, I hooked a cheapo DIY gauge onto the low pressure port, I got a reading of 100 PSI. That is without the compressor turned on.
Is this normal to have such a high static PSI reading? Even on a cool engine at 80 degrees ambient temp, I'm still getting a 100 PSI static reading.
I have some manifold gauges on order from harbor freight and will have more info shortly. Just wanted to verify that I'm not in danger with a 100 PSI static reading.
FYI - I did a DIY can job six months prior and never pulled a vacuum. Can this be the cause of the problem? If so, how to resolve?
