A/C isn't cold but I can hear the clutch kick on. Bought a can with a gauge put it on gauge goes all the way around clearly is full. I know from experience it's usually an orifice tube. Don't think this car has one.

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean the pressure is extremely high on the low side?

First, take a look through this link:

Next, in place of an orifice tube is an expansion block. If you look at the directions below, they provide the removal and replacement instructions for the expansion block.

Once it is replaced, the system will need to be evacuated and recharged. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
