Looking for a little guidance on what my problem could be with this vehicle.
The vehicle has been sitting for quite some time, other than a 10-15 minute start & drive every couple of months. I recently started the vehicle on a 90+/- degree day. After 15 minutes of driving around, switching back and forth between the AC and MAX AC settings, I could not get any cold air production.
I parked the vehicle & checked under the hood, the compressor was not running. I attached a can of 134a to get a pressure reading - which was -0-. Thinking that maybe the system was low, I began adding gas. Once the pressure reading reached 30, the compressor began cycling on/off in approximately 20 second intervals - but still no cold air. Each time the compressor would kick on, the pressure would jump to 50-60. So I do not believe that the issue is refrigerant related or compressor related.
Any suggestions on where to start my search for the problem?
