my a/c system isn't working...maybe caused by low refrigerant pressure??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have heard from a pretty credable source...that is the refrigerant pressure drops to a certain level the compressor will not kick in. Is this true?
If so then I need to get some leak be gone or something that i can spray into the a/c lines...Does anyone know the best stuff for this?
Once i find and stop the leak, then i will need to repressurize the system...Does anyone know what the right pressure is for refrigerant?

thanks

ok a friend of mine has a a/c recharger and is willing to do it for me. He needs to know how much pressure is recommended for the lines.

anyone know this?

but the thing is...I am not using the cans you can buy at auto part stores. He has a commercial grade recharger from when his dad was in the auto repair business. He said something to the tune of "yada yada yada put the machne on a 30 minute charge, but i need to know what pressure your line need to be at, b/c i don't want to blow them up!"
