    Stop what you are doing now.

    What you need to do is take it to a shop or technician that knows what they are doing before you ruin the AC System completely.

    Not trying to be a dick, but you obviously do not have a clue about AC Systems.

    I was trying to be a bit more gentle, because it was obvious that the OP was using a "one size fits all" recharge kit that anyone can buy. The OP is waaaay over-charged, or has a big restriction in the AC system. As Jimmy
    h said, stop what you are doing. It ain't rocket science, but you do need to know what you are doing. Kinda like heart surgery. :)

    Thank you all, I bought the long bottle with the 24" hose to refill, have no high but the low is in 14 I reach 35 and it release pressure and go back down to 14 or 17 is kind of in between. the bottle says to adjust the arrows base on the ambiance temperature and I did at 10am was 89 degrees and it shown I need to have between 35 and 53lbs of pressure, looks easy and simple enough. but not. I am going to take it to the AC Mechanic, this is the first time this happen, done it before and all good. well guys and girls thanks for your input, GOD Bless

    :thumbsup:

    I have seen too many screw up the AC with those quick charge kits. Better to learn the proper way with a gauge set or take it to someone that knows how and has a gauge set.

    The TOTAL capacity of this system is 22 oz. That assumes it has been vacuum evacuated. As others have said, myself included, do NOT just dump in R134a until something blows up. You either need gauges and a little experience, or else a good A/C shop. Any other way can quickly turn out to be VERY expensive.
