Part of why I hung in with this thread is so that other members finding this in the future would understand the proper way to address an AC system, know the law, know the environmental impact, and be safe. Now I have really taken this as far as I can so to quote Les - I'm out. I also retract any inference that you should attach anything to the high pressure port because that can be very dangerous and I don't want you to hurt yourself. Also, any venting from that port besides being potentially dangerous releases a significantly larger quantity of 134a into the environment which is once again, bad for the environment and is illegal, carrying up to a $25,000 fine.

Best of luck.

Happy you feel that way. Thank you for your very informative and useful post, Mr. Google. You have been supremely helpful.

I am happy to say, the AC seems to be working better, it cooled very well the other day. Waiting for a very hot day to try it out, but for me, and the hundreds like me that go to a store, buy the stuff and then use it, (without ever reading the high side, they sell low side stuff) it seems to have been mostly a success, with a much better idea what is going on.

Personal note: There would be times in the past your microaggressions would consume my life, Billy1820, but hopefully you can just stop it. Thanks.
