the pressures at idle look too low....at about 1200rpm the low side pressures may drop so low that the compressor is commanded to turn off...


if this is the case add more refrigerent to the system...45psi low and 325psi high at 1200-1800rpm...@air temp of 80-85 degrees with the fan to max windows open...


If you had air in the system the low side would be low and the high side would be very high , much higher than your readings...
