Well, I got my GMC AC working and it blows great. So, I decided to try to fix my other motorhome which is a Coronado on a GMC chassis. I evacuated the R12 from the low side port and out came some stuff that resembled a white cream paste substance along with the R12. Don't know what it is ????
Evacuated it all out (I think) and did a vacuum on the system, vacuum held so it appears there are no leaks.
There are no high side ports anywhere along the high side lines. There is a low side service port on the line before it goes into the evaporator. On the back of the compressor where the lines go into the compressor there are two (what appear) to be ports one high and low. At least they both have shader valves in them.

Any way I vacuumed and put in a can of duracool and the compressor kicked in, so I put more in to bring pressure up to about 25 psi. I put an adaptor on the, what I think the high side is at the back of the compressor but I get no pressure reading. Also when I depress the other valve next to the high, which I think is the low, I also get no pressure. I do get pressure when I depress the valve that I feed the duracool in. I would think that if these two are a high and a low there should be pressure in each one.

The compressor in it is a SanDen SD 709 Model U7499.

Any way when I do the temperature reading the temp drops from the ambient of 80 to 69 as I rev the engine to 1500 and hold at 2000 rpm, so I think something is happening.

Is this a sign that maybe the compressor is failing since cooling occurs better as engine revs?
