This is the wife's 2007 Chrysler Pacifica 4.0 with original AC system components. Seemed to cool rather poorly just as the summer began. It blew some cool air but it was definitely under performing. But, just in the last week or so, it seems to have improved on its own. It's not the coldest it's ever been, but it's not bad.
I put gauges on it today. It was 85 degrees out. At idle, the low side read about 19 and the high side ranged from about 240 to 255. Then, at about 2500 rpm, the high side would surge to 325 with the low side pretty much staying put.
Based on what I see online, the low side is a little low at idle and the high side is normal. But at higher RPMs, the low side remains low while the high side is very high. Again, though, the system is putting out a fair amount of cool air.
Blockage? Dying component? Investigate more? Leave it alone? Thanks.
