I dont have my vehicle information to check with..

Based on this information what can you tell me?

Thank you

Are those pressures read at 2000 rpm like they should be? Or at idle?

This was at 2-2.5K , ^^


-----------------------------------
Today i checked it with the engine off.
both sides were 95psi

When i turned engine on, low was 10-20 and high was 150-160
That is a big change on the low side...( maybe i let out more freon than i thought)
Temp was 55F at the vent.

So i added a lill freon, then low rose to 30, high was 160-170
temp was 50F at vent.

i added a little more freon. Temp went no lower than 47F
BUT i noticed low side would now fluctuate from 30-60...
It sounded like the compressor clutch was kicking off and on... how ever i could not actually confirm visually due to the location of the compressor.

Additionally for diagnostic sakes i sprayed water on the condenser to see if saw a difference, and also kepped coolant fan on high as well.... No difference..

Get the refrigerant pulled out and weighed, then the correct oz. added by a shop, likely too little refrigerant in your system. Special equipment required.

You didn't add freon (that's R-12), your 1998 Eagle takes R134a. Sure hope that you didn't add any sealant !!!

yeah i added r12... that is why i WROTE 134 on the original post...

I'm not a moderator, or an expert, but you wrote "freon". Besides: you're the one who - in your own words - "accidentally let out a tiny bit of R and one change was the vent temp rose to 55F". So sounds like you caused your own problem, and then were too frugal to have a shop do an evacuation and re-charge by weight, and now you're just guessing.
