I just purchased a 92 Explorer and the ac didn't work, so I put freon & then the compressor engaged. The clutches were super worn & it barely put out a little cool air for just a few minutes, then when I would rev the motor a little the pressure relief would open & I could smell freon coming out ... this happened for about 10 mins. then stopped opening , but the ac didn't cool afterwards any. It has held pressure for about 2 weeks now but wouldn't cool. The compressor still cycled and with the gauges hooked up it was right on the high/low pressures listed in the Haynes AC manual ... so I went to the junkyard & bought another compressor that had good clutches & swapped it today ... put oil & freon ( I put the 134 conv. adapters on by the way ) & it cooled decent at first ... nothing to brag about, gut cooler than before ... anyways rev the motor & same thing with the pressure relief valve then its barely cool again, but showing proper pressure high/low again. I evacuated the system before filling it also.
