I also hope its not your pods, but it is likely. It will only take you about 20 minutes to check them. Don't apply over about 3inHg. during the test.

I just got my set of new pods from the Brown Truck today. I am making my LED based tester for the diagnostic port tonight. I want to check that before I start tearing apart the dash. If I have another problem I want to know about it first. I'm not too keen on the idea of having to take off the dash twice.

If you're using your a/c at all, whether at the equator, or at the North pole, your evaporator can still fail. I don't think that you have to worry on your car, due to your pressures. It doesn't sound as if you have a leak anywhere. I would be willing to bet, however, that if there are 124 cars in your area, then there are 124 cars that have lost their evaporators.

Best of luck and keep us informed,
