Negative. I am speaking of the TXV or orfice tube. There are the devices that allow refrigerant to flow into the evaporator.

Start looking at the metering device. If possible, tape a gauge set onto the windshield and give us the readings.

Re: Ford Focus MK2 break 2006 AC issues

Before placing 12 volts on the fan leads to see if it works, disconnect the fan from the vehicle wiring. You o not want to chance back feeing to the PCM.

Re: toyota corolla ac not cooling

<<this car was originally r 22 so only has low pressure valve. the low pressure psi was 28 psi. the ac shop that that was good low side pressure as according to ac shop low side pressure is good between 30 and 45 psi.>> I think you meant R12 not R22. As mentioned, you need a real AC shop.

Why not try getting a condenser from Tim?

Re: Help me diagnose my AC

Airflow across condenser. It is possible the new condenser is bad or the fan clutch.

Re: Help me diagnose my AC

Measure the input and output of the evaporator tubes. The readings (taken with the same thermometer) should be the same and the output a few degrees cooler) 320 high side at idle is too much. So you may have a defective condenser, fan clutch, missing air dam shields; what ever is causing the high si...
