1998 S90 A/C malfunction question. Need expert advice. S90-V90

Thanks B.C.

When it's not cooling and the compressor is running, the low side pressure is 25-30 psi at idle, compressor not cycling. I consider this normal. I've shut the A/C off for upwards of 15 minutes with 100+ degree air blowing thru the dash vents so I don't think the evaporator is freezing. The accumulator is hot (ambient for the engine compartment). Next time I will check down by the VOV (variable orifice valve) on the frame. I can't think of any other place it could freeze. You would think that if it is a freeze up, leaving off for 15 minutes in that heat would free it up.

Good point though. The second time I turn it on during the day I just start to get a little cool air before it goes all warm.

I am wondering though ... If I had a blockage, wouldn't I see it on the low side. The suction side should go below 25 and the presostat would kick off.... ?

I'll check out your suggestion, Thanks!
