Re: Seeking advice on system

What was the rpm at which you got those readings? Plz provide readings at 1800 rpm.

Re: Trinary switch possible locations, TXV system

As you stated usually at the r/d.
It is not clear why you need a second switch.

Get a professional Manifold Gauge Set as mentioned by JohnHere and post both hi and low pressures, and ambient, and center vent temp (digital thermometer is best), with engine at 1500-1800, max fan, max cool, recirculate, doors and windows closed. With that info we can tell you the health of the sys...
