Re: Compressor Cycles every 30 seconds

Re: Pressures.

I can't and don't make statements about what is an across the board high pressure. Need more information like how big are the compressor and condenser/fan relative to each other, and how much HVAC cooling load. 2000 Dodge Neon running 400 psig at idle 110F ambient, it's OK, normal. 2015 Silverado r...

I personally think trying to achieve some specific high side number puts an unachievable thought in readers' minds....

Re: Do I have a problem?

At 80 degrees ambient. You're hardly in an optimal temp range to perform diagnostics. Posted readings are not far off. Again, I would do nothing until it is warmer out. But that's just me.
