i have the correct amount of freon and oil in. I had the car on a valcume pump for 2 hrs to clear all the out side air. When i charged it it was normal low side 34-37 punds.
but when i shut off the car and about a hr later i went to start it and it would not work, so i went back home and put the gauges on, and the low side dropped way in to a hi valcume and the high prs was way off it was like 20 pounds and the ac lines on the passenger side of the, the line that go to the compressor was warm, and the high pressure was frezzen up.(going to the condensor)
