High side pressure is pulling low. Low pulls low and cut off. Have full gas in system. Clutch less compressor with electronic valve. Does same with another second compressor installed.

Good morning,

What are the exact pressures when you turn on the A/C system?

I need both the high side and low side readings.

Does the compressor come on?

You need at least 20 pounds on the low side for the compressor low pressure switch to close.

If you cannot get anymore freon in, then I would check the schraeder valves.

You need to get the correct amount of freon in the system for it to work.

Normal high side is 2 times ambient temp plus 15%.

Low side should be 25-30 rock solid.
