Another A/C problem

An overcharged system will act like that on very hot days.

You may want to check the gap on the clutch plate. Had a similar problem and when the comp. clutch heated up it would not pull the clutch plate in once it cycled off. Can test by duplicating the condition and tapping the clutch with a hammer handle. If it sucks the plate in and the compressor runs you may have to regap the plate by removing a spacer in the clutch hub.

Hope this helps

I think I finally got it fixed!! Been tapping on clutch off and on while doing all the other stuff. Finally in a fit of desperation, I got an 8 ounce ball peen hammer and gave it a love tap and got engagement. Pressure dropped to around 25. Comp off, pressure rises past 60. Another whack and BINGO!! Removed spacer and it runs like a new one!!! Many thanks to all!! My new Hero...ErnieX!!!
