[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1593089, member: 9374"] Ok, well, I just did some quick checking on my system. Been busy, so I haven't had much time, kid's birthday last night and all. So.... in park, system on high, compressor is cycling every 10-15 seconds, it sounds like. :( From the $50 kit I bought at Advance with 2 bottles of refrigerant, the gauge shows pressure approaching 100 until the compressor cycles on, when it slowly drops to around 58-60, compressor kicks off, over the next 10 seconds pressure builds to close to 100 again and the cycle repeats. :( Seems to work "ok" to "fairly well" when driving, but when idling the above is what happens. :( I'm guessing this means the compressor is screwy, since if it were low on refrigerant, the pressure would be low?
