Super High High Side

[joshtypesn]

See my previous posts to learn that I replaced my entire AC system except for the pressure cut off and cycling switches, all main components including lines and oraphis are brand new. When I first vacuumed and charged things ran fine with pressures of 35 on the l.s. and 220 on the h.s. The AC never got that cold however and slowly got worse, today it conked out so i figured it all leaked out however when I put my gauges on i read 40 on the l.s. and about 400 on the h.s. I figured that this was NO GOOD...please help me diagnose it is over 100 in FL on most days

To "me" it looks like an overcharge or possibly a blockage in the system. Also, if the there isn't enough air flow through the condenser the high side will go up. Is there stuff (extra coolers) in front of the condenser? Is it plugged up with dirt/leaves etc?

When I charged the Honda, I got carried away and put too much in.. It cooled worse and actually popped the safety valve when it hit 400psi. I dropped the pressure back some (don't ask, it wasn't legal) and now it works great..
