Re: Why the change to: Charge by weight not psi?

jamyer; In my opinion you're asking a VERY good question. I think I see what the difference is. There's a whole LOT more money to be made if you reclaim, weigh, and recharge by weight versus adding some freon with your gauge set. I know I'll step on a lot of toes here but I'm with you in your questi...

Re: Getting started in AC; DIY needs advice! !!!

It just seems like the answers I getting is; if you're ac is not blowing as cold as it used to and you'd like for it to be cooler the answers I'm getting is drain the system; weigh what was in it; put correct amount to specs back in.

Getting started in AC; DIY needs advice! !!!

1. What should my gauges read with 85-90 degree temp and 90% humidity; Low and High side? 2. Should the engine be running at a certain rpm when you charge the system? 3. If you charge a car at say 1500 rpm at the correct pressure of say 40 psi then your car at idle the pressure shows like 60; is tha...
