There are charts on the internet that show what the system pressure at the ambient should be. I charged my pick up today, and it was 100 degrees outside. My low side required 50-55 psi and high side at 285-300 psi. My vent temp was 30 degrees with blower on high. Your pressures seemed low, and vent temp at 50 is warm.
@electric9977 those new “self sealing” cans are finicky. Sometimes the screw on nozzle has too much gasket and the pin can’t penetrate too. I screwed in all the way and was trying to hear the pressure drop and see the sight glass.
@@electric9977 no, turn it all way down to penetrate seal, the open to allow refrigerant out into the line. You should hear it and see if flow into the manifold.
@@TunerwithKids Look at the time 9:08 in your video. You opened the blue "low Side". The low side is NOT the liquid side. The low side is the vapor side going straight into your compressor. Hang in there, you'll learn. Hopefully people know better watching this video, so they don't follow that bit of advice. Just for your info, the red side is your liquid side.
You’re right it’s charged on the low side like every guide and instructions tell you for car on charging. The first can was slugged in as a liquid but the compressor clutch wasn’t engaged due to low pressure. The second can was sent in as a vapor (can upright) and there was enough pressure to engage clutch.
@@TunerwithKids As long as you know now. Also, when you were speaking of replacing the compressor and the condenser you didn't mention changing the drier. Anytime the system is opened the drier needs to be replaced with a new one due to atmospheric moisture entering the system. That is best practice regardless of whether you vacuumed it down or not. When charging it should be turned to max with the fan on high speed and windows open. That way you're charging according to ambient temperature.

I got 40F discharge air with a proper vent thermometer. This is consistent with my other Toyota cars.
Very nice! Well explained
Glad you liked it and watched. Hope it helps for future DIY.
Has that lit started to leak as yet?
Hell no. No leaks but I was thorough to make sure there were no leaks before charging it.
How do you remove the shredder valves?
With tool in kit.
@@TunerwithKids is it same one to remove tire valves? Or what's the link to the kit you used
Yes similar but one is slightly bigger. The tool usually come with the gauges.
Excellent video
Thanks for watching.
Why were you opening and closing the valve of the freon?
Was trying to get it to flow so wasn’t sure since I didn’t see it move the sight glass. But it too a second to get going.
Same issue i was having, I wasn’t able to get the refrigerants flow to the system? Any advice what can cause that?

So i have to turn it all the way down and leave it as is?

You just dumped liquid freon into your new compressor. Hopefully you didn't destroy it. Time will tell.
it was charged on the low side as every guide directs you. .

@DavidSimmerman-s8d on my other videos of this project, I installed the new condenser that already included drier media.
