Hi and thanks in advance,
I've always been able to repair cars, however this one has me bugged since A/C work is not my strong point.
The vehicle in question is an 88 Ford E-150 Van.
At an idle with a fully charged system, no leaks, no blockages etc. I have approx 60lb back pressure, 125lb on the high side. Ambient temp was about 75 degrees.
With engine running at cruising speed 44lb back pressure 225 high side.
At idle the A/C is warm at the cruise speed its blowing cold air. Van is running about 1,500 RPM A/C is cool, curb idle A/C blowing warm.
The compressor is operating and not making any weird sounds, the van doesn't over heat.
Any ideas??
Thanks
