Re: air conditioner how it works?

The low and high side pressure should be within 30 psi of each other when things are working properly. High pressure on the low side could be a defective check valve or when there is higher than normal pressure on the low side or it reads higher than the high side it indicates a compressor problem. Sounds like your compressor is leaking severely and already damaged. I would not attempt adding any more R134a refrigerant because its way too high as it is.

If you want to DIY the AC I'd suggest getting a good service manual.
