AC Issue!

So its finally HOT it did not start off warming up, it went from 20 degrees to 95 degrees wtf, anyway the ac is being **** in my 2000 max, it kicks on then off right away, sometimes it stays on and its nice and cold, seems the hotter it gets outside the more it acts up, it just wont stay on., i swapped relays, the pressure in the low side is 26psi, dunno if thats low or not but it may help you help me figure out whats going on, Also if i bypass the pressure switch in line it still does the same so it rules out the pressure switch. and tips would be great, its to damn hot to fast.

Possibly, but when it works, it works great, the ac compressor does make a nice howling sound when i accelerate

I'm also having AC issue. I tried recharge can today but as soon as i hooked up it the gauge didn't even move. I don't know what the problem is yet. I might just have to take it to Firestone or something to get it checked out.

When you recharged your AC did you have the AC ON and on MAX output? shake the can also and then try recharging it. I just had to Recharge mine also and the guage didn't move for atleast a minute...lol.

That's what I was thinking. Seems like a clutch issue. I'd check that.
