I was thinking as much since I never remembered it behaving like that last time it worked properly. I'm quite sure now that the obstruction that worked itself free has jammed itself into my expansion valve. The system quickly pressurizes to 450psi on the high side then slowly falls while the low...

Well I messed with it some more, charged it to 50psi and still no change, revved it, checked low side and it had dropped pressure but the high side hadn't changed. So I alternated between slightly overcharging and revving a few times then suddenly my high shot up to 450psi and low side went down...

Well it appears to still have an obstruction in the system. I the checked pressures. High side maintains a constant pressure (120ish psi) while the low side maintians 20psi or drops to 0 with engine rpms. Adding a small can of R134 only boosted low side psi up a few points. It was fully charged...

The compressor is brand new (not a remanufactured unit) installed this past weekend and only ran in the shop by the mechanic. They also replaced my AC drier and manifold hose assembly along with clearing the line with a conditioner, so I know for certain there aren't any obstructions. The fan...

I do believe Bosch makes the OEM DCCV for Ford. That issue aside, I got to try running my AC before the car warmed up today, and it seemed very luke warm until I held the engine at somewhere over 1500 rpm, then it started getting cool. I also noticed a lack of increasing rpms from the fan, which...

joegr, thanks for that link. Its definitely helpful for anyone trying to figure out how these HVAC systems work. But seeing as the only code I'm consistently retrieving is related to a bad reciruclation door I'm just going to throw another DCCV at it and see if it remedies the issue. It'll be...

I did indeed forget to mention the year of my car. Its a 2000 model. And thank you for pointing out my error, I did assume it meant the driver's side recirculation door. I'm fairly new to dual climate zones in a vehicle, so that's where my assumption is coming from. That and the fact the...

The vents on both sides are blowing as hot as the car can put out like the heat is on max. I have also ran the diagnostic mode on the DATC this weekend and a few months back when I noticed the problem, both times reporting a drivers side recirculate blend door issue (B1242). Maybe its a cabin...

Yea those are a pain enough to replace on the v6, I couldn't imagine how it would go on a v8. I've averaged one replacement DCCV at the end of every winter so far, and I'm thinking this one might be toast too. I'm just hoping to find and easier to do solution this time around lol

As the title says. I'm sure its been talked about in the past, and I apologize if theres a thread already on this issue, but I've been researching this for a while and have gotten nowhere. It's been doing this all summer, even when I turn the DATC to its lowest setting I still get hotter than...
