Working now after adding some refrigerant the other day, pressure was below cut-in on the red pressure switch I assume. Fans cycle now.

Ambient 76F today, muggy, AC was doing jack crap driving around town at 30-40mph, maybe a 12-15F drop over ambient. I'll try to stick gauges on it next week. Am I good using a generic temp/pressure chart like this?

I don't think I've ever had a car with a factory r134 AC system lol...
