a/c compressor trouble
My '87 300 TDT blows cold air for about 3 minutes and after that just fan blowing warm air... It has plenty of refrigerant and does not feel like it is overheating. Help!

Tell us how you know it has the correct amount of refrigerant ?
|
#3
|
|||
|
|||
registering 230 on the high side and about 35 on the low side....
|
#4
|

|
|||
What are your controls set at ... have you tried them maxed out.. except low for the blower ?
What refrigerant ? Which compressor ? |
#5
|
|||
|
|||
Do you know which AC type system you have ... like type 2 or type 3 ?
|
#6
|
|||
|
|||
Those readings are at high idle.. with a fan blowing into the radiator ?
|
#7
|
|||
|
|||
low idle and the fan probably not blowing too hard because the fan clutch is not too good...
|
#8
|
|||
|
|||
Are you referring to the Fan Clutch on the engine ?
These tests are supposed to be at high idle and with proper air flow... otherwise you get the high pressure or high temp switch cutting your cooling to protect the compressor... Just a possibility... also, do you have a pencil thermometer to stick into the vent while you test ? |

I always hope they have the type I... for selfish reasons...
