You may have it a little overcharged but not much. It all depends on how hot it is outside. If its around 90 degrees F, the low side would be about 68 to 70 lbs. (refrig 22) If its 110 degrees F outside, you're sitting about right. Just make sure it's not sweating water from the big copper pipe onto the compressor. This would mean you have a pretty big overcharge.

Where is the lowside port dodge charger 5.7 hemi 2007 to recharge my a/c

look for a port on the aluminum ac pipes on the driver's side of the engine compartment next to the suspension tower. Port might be on the underside of one of the pipes, marked with L.
Usually on modern cars the ports are pretty fail safe...you can't hook up to the high side with a standard DIY R134A recharger/kit.

Im trying to figure out which cap i remove on my 01 cadillac to recharge the A/C because it doesnt have a L for lowside Or H for highside.

The easiest way to tell on any car is that the low pressure hose is always larger than the high pressure one, and you always want the low pressure hose.
You can also tell because it is the one going from the radiator condenser/receiver/dryer, to the interior of the car. It is never the one attached to the pump.

A/c does'nt get very cold comming out of vents center vent feels kinda cold. left and right vents by the doors is warm. a/c is fully charged pressures are right were they should be hihg and low side...

use a proper AC machine and remove the gas so its weighed on removal and i do think you will find that its undercharged with gas ,most vehicles operate with around 750 grms of gas by weight and i think yours will show about 150 grms of gas so it works but it doesnt get cold enough ,the low pressure pipe out of the valve under the bonnet should be well cold with condensation on it and the inlet pipe which is thinner should be warm to hot ,unless you have operating flap thats not closing properly that is ,but i would stick the machine on it and weigh the gas to make sure before you pull the dash apart

The front a/c is not cooling, however the rear a/c is freezing. i have checked the freon and it is at 45 psi. Could it be the drier?

NO. Use your hand and find out where its cold/ hot. Small pipes are high pressure (hot) large pipes are low pressure (cold) The big can in front of the passenger should be cold. If not, it could be low on charge. The rear uses an expansion valve, so its really different than the front (orifice tube)

Air not cold enough to cool house

Make sure the outside fan is running. Also check the high side pressure, I assume the 70# is the low side pressure, so you can tell what the compressor is doing. If the fan and compressor are both working, make sure there is good airflow through outdoor coil and check that it is clean. Let me know what you find.

I have a 2006 chev impala. The air conditioning cuts in and out w/o ever cooling the passenger compartment. I have charged the system with R-134. It cools for just a couple of minutes then quits. It will...

you could have over charged the system ?? or the operating flaps in the heater unit are not working ,find the inlet and outlet pipes for the AC where they enter the vehicle and see if one pipe is hot and the other cold ?? the big pipe should be cold and the thinner one hot

Air condition not cooling

If this is a heat pump it sounds like the reversing valve is stuck in the heat mode, replacing it requires opening the sealed system, which needs to be done by a licensed ac repairman.

Where is the low side service port on a 2003 grand am (6cyl)

If your talking about the low side sevice port to charge your ac, its easy to find. With your recharge kit, it comes with a nozzle to attach to this lowside port. Each port, (lowside and highside), are different diameters. The charging nozzle will ONLY fit onto the lowside port. Just run the length of your ac lines from the compressor and trace them back to the firewall. You should find both ports before you hit the firewall.

AC is running but can't keep the temp down. Everything is brand new. AC unit is on shady side. New filter, no cloggs. No clog in drip pipe. Condinsation building up on pipes outside. Please help.

If the big pipe out side is cold and sweating and the little one is warm to touch if it is hot to touch under charged. I would suspect insulation, or under sized unit
is their a 20f difference from supply air to return air the i would lean towards insulation. Tom
