a/c kit install

no, it was a bad clutch coil. the system flush came out clean. But the new compressor would not turn by hand before I installed it. The instructions said that some GM compressors (H-6)/similar will not. I don't know if this one is one of those. Did this new compressor have a problem? It turns now but not freely, which is understandable. I got a feeling... this compressor was bad from the supplier, but I don't want to cast blame before I'm sure of it.

Might be to your advantage , to bring it to a pro at this point.

Ok, I figured out what I did wrong. I put the orifice tube in backwards, and it was not restricting the high side pressure. Now I've flushed the system, each component by itself, until everything came out clear. I put some oil based flush in the new compressor, turned it many times and drained it, it came out clear. It is pumping ok. What I am considering... put it back in with 2-3oz Pag100 in the low side of the compressor, 5oz in a fresh new accumulator, put in a new orifice tube, load the system and see what happens. Do you have any input?

Nope........sounds like you've gotten it taken care of. Glad you found the cause of the low side pressure issue. Don't know your skill/diagnosis level so I didn't want to go there if it would've made it worse (read that as more frustrating)for you. .Simple goof.......reply on here to let me know that your freezing your ass off after your done!! Good luck!

I don't understand, the exact same result. Low side at 100, high side 50. Won't take a charge.

Still has restriction.
