Default Did you change the orifice tube?

If it's clogged then the compressor needs to work harder.

I have a question,,, I have changed the Compressor, Condensor, Evaporator, Accumulator. What else is there that I have missed in the AC Line that could still be clogged. Any pictures hints would be appriciated. Thanks

compressor runs full time. it is a variable displacement unit. the only time it turns off is due to excessively high or low pressure or you've commanded the system to turn it off. its also why you won't see a low pressure that you want, it regulates the low pressure depending on the brass main control valve on the compressor (with the compressor mounted the valve is visible and facing the ground toward the back of the compressor).
