2017 Challenger Hellcat. Has the FI interchiller stage 2 installed. Was working beautifully. No issues at all. I left for work for about 4 weeks and the car got some work done. Now. Shes back together but A/C doesnt work at all. Put a set of Gauges on it and the low pressure side is high(90-110) and high pressure side is low-normal(100-150). AC compressor clutch engages and spins with the compressor. I drained the system. Pulled a vaccumm. Held it for 45mins. Held fine. Went to recharge the system and within 1 can of refrigerant low pressure side is high again. Any thoughts at all?

Im about 3 hours from Chattanooga.

I didnt do any electrical work.

Low side pressure is way too high. And i drained the system and vacuum pumped it down to - 30. Only added 1 can of refridgerant. No way its full.

I can hook it up to computer but im unsure what to look for

Come on Hick, serious post deserves mildly correctly spelled words.

I know they're hard, but I also know you've got it in you, I've seen it first hand!

Your compressor could be flooded if you fed in liquid freon too quickly before the compressor has a chance to process it.

It’s either that or your ac compressor checked out.

If it stops working, it either leaked out enough to become ineffective or your compressor failed. This is assuming that the clutch is engaging properly.

Someday Hickster will surprise us all with something like this. Saw Gone in 60 a while back and for whatever reason thought of Hickster in this scene.
