A/C turning off when idle

It didn't hurt the cat engine we have on the peterbilt! Haha

But very true I would agree for using on your personal vehicle its a better choice

Here is an image of the reading while the AC was running. It was 77F outside at the time. I know there is only one fan for the radiator and the condensor, but does it have a hi and low speed? It sounded like it was running at high speed for like 10-20 seconds and then it seemed to be running at low speed the rest of the time. Maybe it's supposed to be running at high the entire time.

Also there seems to be some green dye in the system already as it sprayed everywhere when we disconnected the hose.

@jmandawg

i am also thinking about bent fins in my condenser. i will try to clean it also this weekend with coil foam spray and water.

one guy told me to use a toothpick to re-align the fins to the best i can to avoid restricted airflow.
