It was about 60 today so idk if that's good or not.Ac was blowing decently cold air but not great. Definetly colder than ambient by 15? Degrees. Just a guess without a thermometer. I tossed up the question on a FB page seeing if anyone knew the capacity of the system, didnt really get an answer. Mostly got told repeatedly I had a leak (yea no duh) and that I should have evacuated and pulled a vacuum on the system, which I did not realize was needed. However I also didnt think the system was completely empty, which seems to be the case.Going to drop by my mechanic again and see if he can hook up his gauges if he has time and see what the high side looks like but currently the low side is 60 when compressors off, and floats between 22 and 44 psi as the compressor cycles on and off.I'm not sure if the compressor is suppose to bring the psi down to 22 where it then cycles or if it's not suppose to be getting that low and has another method to cycle properly... I'm not familiar enough with the damn AC system to know... this is my first endeavor in a non functioning AC system. I guess I've been spoiled til now.</blockquote>
