Between the compressor and half way through the condensor the theory is that should be hot vapor.... from half way down the condensor to the Txvalve should be hot liquid... after entering the evaporator through the Txvalve the evaporator should be cold and then exiting the evaporator and back to the compressor vapor should be approximately ambient air temperature....
So for the condensor to be cold at any point where the AC is running... is problematic.
The condensor is supposed to cool the hot vapor to a point where it can be turned into hot liquid... it is the phase change from liquid to vapor inside the evaporator with air blowing across the fins which should provide the cold air needed by the occupants of the car...it is where the ' excess' heat taken from the air inside the passenger compartment is released into the outside air stream...
