Looks good to me. All I need is a VENT TEMP READING!

sounds good it’s arriving tomorrow I’ll stick it in the middle vent and close all the other vents and see what it reads . So should I not worry about when the car is running about what the high and low suppose to be while the car is running?

looks like it was not reading 96 degrees as you stated the ambient temp to be looked like they equalized at 90 does the weather forecast say 90 for that time?

WAIT FOR THE VENT TEMP!

Your car's air conditioning system works just like a refrigerator or your home air conditioning. The purpose of the system is to remove hot air from the inside of your vehicle. It consists of the following components:

Component 1: Compressor. The purpose of the compressor is to pressurize the air conditioning system and circulate the refrigerant. It's located at the front of the engine and is typically driven by the main drive belt.

Component 2: Condenser. The condenser is located in the front of the radiator and is used to remove heat from the refrigerant.

Component 3: Evaporator. The evaporator is located inside the dash of the vehicle and is used to absorb heat from the interior of the car.

Component 4: Metering device. This is known as a metering tube or an expansion valve and can be located either under the dash or under the hood near the fire wall. Its purpose is to change the pressure in the air conditioning system from high pressure to low pressure.

Component 5: Hoses or lines. These consist of metal and rubber lines to carry the refrigerant.

Component 6: Refrigerant. Typically, all systems today contain R-134A refrigerant. This can be purchased over the counter at most auto parts stores.

Though these are the primary components of the air conditioning system, your vehicle has a series of electrical circuits that allow it to function, as well as a dash system that contains numerous doors that move within the dash that can affect effectiveness.

I was looking at the temperature on mt

ok. well that sensor is under the hood and who knows how accurate it is to actual outside temp without getting heat soaked from the vehicle first

ah I see so that mean my high pressure and low pressure is good since it was reading correctly right? I don’t have to add more or release more pressure

Make sure the dials are set properly. Max cold, airflow to straight vent only, Start up, turn fan speed to 1, press recirc button(on the fan speed dial) press button (on the h/c dial). Wait approx 5minutes....you should get a min, 40° drop from ambient @85°+

So not put it on max fan speed ? Just on 1?

My ambient temp sensor is accurate when running, however anyone can just check local temp online, or in my case I also have a wireless outdoor temp sensor.
Temp down right now, yet humid.
