98 Grand Cherokee Ltd 5.9 A/C
 

My A/C takes a really long time for it to start blowing cold. I bought
a recharge kit with a guage and hooked it up to the low side expecting
to see it indicate a low refrigerant condition. Instead, it looked like
it was really high and dropped into normal when the compressor kicked
on. I didn't add any refrigerant. The compressor seemed to cycle pretty
frequently. The days are starting to get hot and humid here in Louisiana
and I need some relief... Any help would be appreciated.

You done right. I've popped so many condensers, the pop off valve
is not enough to save them. R134 requires a little higher pressure than
the more efficient R12, low side at idle on a hot day will be about
40-50psi: http://members.tripod.com/~jbabs714/autoac.htm Remember to
keep the can upright if you want to keep your eyes. leave the connection
loose to blow all the air out of the hose then tighten, with these
Greenies you need all the fake refrigerant in there you can get.

More than likely your cooling coil has much stuff covering it, dirt, mold,
and crud. Buy some coil cleaner at an HVAC commercial business. I usually
get underneath spray it up into the drain and rinse several times with
water. Wear safety goggles and you will be really surprised at what flushes
out.
