The problem im having is my a/c works ok at nite and afternoon but hardly cold during the day, this is 115 degree az heat. I have done so much troubleshooting and i cant figure it out. Every component has been replaced, compressor, condensor, receiver drier, expansion valve and completely flushed out all lines. Its charged with r12 and was drawn to 25inch lbs vacuum for 1 hour before charging. I have 2 electric fans installed with belt driven removed. Im not sure if the 240sx has a cycling ac compressor or variable displacement compressor, because I have noticed my compressor never cycles on and off. I did replace the pressure sensor also and my pressures sky rocket when its hot outside, low side to about 50psi and high side about 250psi, when i spray water on the condensor it dramatically drops the pressures and starts blowing cold. I did notice a sort like temperature sensor on the evaperator core when i replaced the expansion valve and not sure if its to cycle the compressor or safety feature so compressor doesnt kick on and freeze up if accedentially turned on in winter time. I feel like I have done everything possible and still cant get my ac to work right and it suks being in 115 degree heat with no ac.
