So I’ve replaced the condensor , evaporator core , expansion valve and compressor on my O3 X ! FML . Still no cold air , cool , but not cold . After i charge it my gauges fluctuate about 5-10 pounds slowly up and down . Need advice please !!!

you need a vacuum pump to pull a vacuum before charging the system, most parts stores rent them, as well as pro style gauges to measure low and high side and fill at the same time

I vacuumed the system before charging it .

I’m just curios if there’s a blockage since I’ve replaced every major component

You may have a blockage in a line then, why where you replacing the parts? Compressor failure?

Well the evaporator core had a Leak and the compressor clutch ran constantly. Just thought it’d be a good idea to replace it along with the condensor . I used a thermal thermometer on the high pressure line . We’re it leaves the firewall into the engine bay the first 10” of line reads between 80-92 degrees then section of the 10” will jump to 110-120 for s few seconds then back to 80-92 degrees . I’m not sure if that’s a blockage or just the fact that the line runs above the exhaust manifold .

How close are we talking? Maybe a picture would help.
