R-134A + no condenser cooling = ULTRA high head pressure. You're
lucky you didn't lunch the compressor, and that may happen soon
enough.

Another fun feature of DuPont and GM's big fraud against the world,
R-134A. Just another reason why I refuse to do 134A "conversions" on
restored and rehosed R-12 car systems. There are good,
environmentally friendly blends, like R-418A, that don't need PAG or
olefin oils and are more thermally efficient, especially if using
isobutanes. The problem with blends isn't that they're "not as good"
as 134A...it's just that it takes a real refrigeration man to use them
properly, not some garage jockey. You cannot "top off" a system
running blends...it must be leak tested, made tight, the blend
reclaimed and recharged from vacuum. 134A got the nod because it's
NOT a blend, and therefore, the user just keeps dumping more of the
crap in when he springs a leak...making DuPont (and their still
illegal interlocking partner, GM) all that much happier. It also
caused a lot of clueless car owners (and corporate idiots in charge of
large chillers, etc.) to scrap and trade in R-12, R-502 and R-13
equipment needlessly. Remember, it was GM's "Boss" Kettering who
headed the original "Freon" project for DuPont while still employed by
Sloan at GM in the '30s. They weren't going to give up that
multi-billion-a-year business, no sir!

DuPont is also allegedly responsible for spreading the now-common and
disproven myth that R-406 and R-409 (and their improved successors)
would cause immediate liver failure if inhaled, as well as the lie
that isobutane blends are an "explosion hazard." Anyone with half a
brain can research and find out that 134A explodes at 400°F with less
than 5% oxygen present, far lower than the HCFC refrigerant it
replaced. But, oh yes...the hydroflouric acid threat is still there
with 134A, especially when running PAG oil...and I'd wager a good
chunk that PT's refrigeration system is REAL acetic right now. Lotsa
luck with that compressor next summer!

That was AT&T Wireless (and clueless) which is now swallowed whole by
"Dingular," a toy of the "new AT&T" (SBC) and Bell Souff.

if PT means a PT Cruiser..................
is this a "foreign" one?

Cheers Glenn. spot on. I took your advice and it worked. it was a faulty
connection at the fan module. as soon as I connected to the compressor port
it became obvious. the rebelmc.

"CRD" means "Common-Rail Diesel."

Same drive layout as any PT Cruiser, except for the diesel engine.

Who makes the diesel for those?

Yeah...a bazillion laughs, har de har har! Go join Charlie Nudo over
in the corner! Nah, wait...that's TOO severe, and would require
breathing apparatus.
