Re: Stumped: 2012 Odyssey purging refrigerant

It seems very improbable to have two defective PRV, especially the OP says he installed NEW Denso compressor. I'm doubtful it's what is really going on. Maybe try a different gauge set, yours is not opening maybe, gage stuck, valve not opening, 110 on yours is in reality 550 psi? I'm just guessing ...

Re: Stumped: 2012 Odyssey purging refrigerant

I can relate. I think most of us on here have gotten headaches with problems like this. I'd still start with replacing the HPRV. They're cheap, and at least then we could rule it out. Do I understand correctly that you can charge the system only to a reading of 110 PSI on the high side (when it sho...

Re: Stumped: 2012 Odyssey purging refrigerant

I agree with a foregoing comment. The reason the HPRV would release at only 110 PSI is if the valve itself is defective--that is, not seating properly. Remember, "NEW" means "Never Ever Worked." I'd try replacing the HPRV valve on the new compressor with another new valve. What ...

Re: Stumped: 2012 Odyssey purging refrigerant

It would seem the valve is bad. New no longer means what it did years ago. It won't cycle because it is low on charge. Hi of 110 isn't much. Are you weighing in the charge or winging it?. If weighing, how much is in there now, and what is the capacity. What other work was done? The reason we decide...

Ambient temp about 71F. Observation: The clutch seems to always be engaged and will not cycle on/off. I check...
