However it blew out with compressed air the same as the old condenser with the leak and that worked fine. I blew out the flushing fluid until no more liquid vapor came out. I installed new orifice line and accumulator and the ac works the same since I put the new condenser on. Here is a video with 12oz of R134a, capacity is 20oz. By the way the orifice screen was not plugged and all lines and evaporator all blew out with compressed air with no resistance either. I applied a vacuum for 1 hour before filling with the 1 12 oz can of R134a. Why are the pressures "locked" after 2 compressor cycles? This is how it has been functioning now. http://youtu.be/z2EVABN62uo Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 28, 2014, 6:48 PM Post #2 of 5 (1728 views)      Re: 97 Jeep Wrangler Update   Not much question you have a blockage there somewhere. It could be a line ruptured or a restriction elsewhere in the system but something is blocked. Make sure you removed the shipping caps from the new condenser. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I opened up the fittings on the condenser and the high pressure still read 150 PSI. I had put rubber stoppers in these fittings while I replaced the condenser and put a vacuum on the system. One stopper got sucked into the fitting and lodged about 1 inch from the end and I didn't even realize it. I'm a dumbass.

You have to open it again and the vacuum was useless. At least you got it resolved. Question closed now to keep the spammers out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
