My 1992 Olds Regency Elite has a problem with the AC not cooling properly, it has a good cold line and plenty of air circulation, but will not cool at idle and takes a while to start cooling while traveling, it seems that the faster I go the cooler it gets. Low side pressure is at 35, Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yes unless it is kicking out while driving, at idle everything looks to be turning ok and at idle is when the ac isn't cooling

All indications lead to reduced cooling operation of radiator. Try flushing but with age and miles think time for new radiator.

Radiator is real clean and in great shape, do you think maybe the orifice needs to be replaced?
