Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

PS: I just found this chart (hope it posts). It is relative humidity temperature service port pressure chart. Interpolating it we should find a little different than I expected: 45-50 low side, 365/380 high side at 86 degrees 66% humidity. I feel better, however something is still not right. post-13...

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

UPDATE: Took a rain day. I purchased some 5000scf (3000 up to 6000 is spec from Toyota) silicone from a hobby shop and rebuilt the fan clutch today with 50cc per spec as the bearings are fine. I reinstalled the fan and tested it, definitely higher output of air and higher rpm. 1000 rpm fan at idle, ...

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

Thank you for the full explanation. I did not cherry pick any information, using only that which was available...the 70% value is supposedly the highest RPM for a standard duty thermal clutch so the math works. However I will bow to your experience and go ahead and freeze up the clutch and try again...

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

Ok here we go. I used these UAC part numbers from rock auto kit: UAC KT3742A UAC CN3932PFC UAC CO21008C UAC EX7012FC UAC RD1224C UAC RS2581 UAC RO0900B Then when this problem occurred I changed the TX valve: Napa 207306 which shows for 1994 so IS a 134a part number. I checked the specs for the fan c...

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

In my most recent numbers I did NOT use any water on the condenser. In the past I have sp;ashed water on the condenser and saw immediate reaction, but there will not be water available when driving. there is an instant reaction so no need to check farther. I did not see the compressor cycle at all.....

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

Please remember that this was a functioning ac system except for a very slow compressor leak. Ok, I checked the fan clutch, the fan will not spin more than 2 blades by hand cold or hot. There is no wobble in the clutch. The fan spins at about 640 at idle (laser tach) of 750 (laser tach with two refl...

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

it was significant, brought it down QUICKLY and with enough brought water splashed liberally and literally brought it to about spec. I used a laser across the condenser and down it. There were no obvious cold spots heat seemed to dissipate evenly top to bottom/ left to right etc That is exactly what...

Re: 93 toyota pickup, low side good, high side climbing

First this was a functioning system before the part replacement. The only issue was a VERY slow leak, as in a week or longer before any decrease in cooling. Yes, when I cool with water on the condenser the high side pressure drops significantly. This is a new UAC condenser, should I consider it susp...

Ambient 85 low pressure 40 high -starts at 225ish and climbs steadily> I shut down at 350ish The vent temps are 50ish but.....this rise in pressure is so quick that I shut down. Valves are closed when testing. What is max pressure before I should shut down the system when testing? I do not want to h...
