That sounds like under charged but it shouldn't be from what you are telling us.
The orafice tube they had me put in was some kind of self adjusting one, I know it sounds crazy but that's what they told me. It's supposed to use less Freon. I think I'm going to change it out.
ya I would do that because the whole thing sounds odd
That's how it's supposed to work. You're tripping the low pressure swtich at 20 psi.
Ya I know but it was only staying on for a few seconds not really enough to get cold. So I thought it might be undercharged. So when I went to fill it a little it wasn't even acting like that.
The wrong orifice will do strange shit.
Fords orifice tubes are color coded according to size if it is still the same as it used to be.
Make sure you have the correct one.

Ok went to Napa got a new orafice tube and had it installed and charged to 2lbs. Just turns on then shuts off.
I put the gauges back on the car, the were equall at about 110 psi. I turned the A/C on the low side got down to 54 psi and the high side up to about 140-150 psi then the compressor shut off. If I cycle the A/C off then back on it just emidiatly turns back off.
Does it stay on if you jump out the low pressure switch?
Already tried that but not since I tried the new orafice tube. I'll be in the field for the next week so I'll try when I get back.
Ok back from the field, thank God. So I jumped the low switch and that didn't work, same when I jumped the high switch. But I noticed my fan wasn't turning on. How do I diagnose this. And I should be able to jump the fan from the high side switch right? The fan does turn on when the car warms up though.
So I have voltage at the high side switch for the fan but with the ac on I don't have voltage at the fan.
I plugged in my tuner and lowered the high speed fan to 180* and it turned on. So it's operational just not getting commanded by ac. Problem with the ccrm? I did have a bad ground awhile back and the ccrm was messing with the fuel pump and form.
The fuse is good because it will go on when it heats up but I'm guessing ccrm.
