Problem is diagnosed and Jimmi will fix it soon. No reason to dilute this forum any further. Chuck W. if you will please, delete this complete post from the forum. I'm sure many as well as myself have no use for such demeanor. Thanks!

Why would you want this post erased. I find this disturbing. You asked for help all of us responded and now you found something and not telling us what you found. Other than JIMMY will fix it. It would be nice to know what you found. Is that asking to much for the effort time and patience from all that tried to help.  Other than me i found it hard to be patient with a simple troubles like this. And not trying to at least do some simple troubling shooting with a test light. Throwing out a trouble asking for prints and not even checking a ground issue as you posted is just beyond my thinking. The posters that tried to answer your issue are not MAGICIANS. We need simple trouble shooting tests to help people that you did not do. I am not bad mouthing you but it seems like all your posts are the same .    But i am happy you and JIMMY have it under control and found whatever you found????

For the sake of this forum....The guy at Firestone said I had no ground and that it was 2 1/2 lbs low of r134A which they said they filled at no charge. I paid the bill and took his word (I have the receipt). Jimmi then checked it and said it had a ground and no power to the compressor. That's when TFYN was kind enough to shoot some pictures and give me some advice as to what to look for. At this time softtouch also was kind enough to send me schematics that I asked for. Jimmi came over yesterday and checked the system and found out that the low pressure switch was not turning on giving the compressor power because there was no R134A in the system. Wednesday, he will bring over his A/C equipment and check for a leak then fill it. So, that's what happened, you guy's can take all that and make your own opinions. Jcassity, Hmm... Like Flip Wilson (younger guys: Who's that?) used to say "The devil made me do it". Probably more truth to that than I care to admit.

Once again i find this hard to believe as the system barely takes 2.5 Lbs as it is so the system was basically empty. And without the compressor running and manifold readings no one would or could know how low the system was and could not charge it without the system compressor working. Another wild story i guess. just me but something is not right here. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the charge. Vinny is correct if low it wont pull in the clutch!!!

Vinny and myself said this in the beginning.

POST #2 and 3

The first thing you do when trouble shooting an AC system for a clutch issue is check the CHARGE!!!!!

Now you have another issue A LEAK . GOOD LUCK!!!

That was my sole purpose of taking the car to Firestone. I wanted to check the freon and see if it had leaked out. They said it was full and that I had no ground. I paid good money to be told that. In reality, it had ground and no power because it had no freon. The end!

Also, technically, this thread is "trolling" by another definition. Trolling is also a form of fishing (in the literal sense) by slowly dragging lines behind a boat, in hopes to lure fish. (But I'm sure you know that)

This thread was dropped here "fishing" for support. You tossed it off the back of your boat and idled along hoping people would "bite" and tell you that you're "OK".

I almost deleted it as soon as it was posted, simply because I'm tired of all the BS from all sides. I hate these fishing type of threads.

Yes, you have knowledge and experience that folks will find useful. HOWEVER, not everyone is going to agree with what you say and how you do things. Even less people are going to agree with your delivery, especially when you flat out tell them that their ideas are STUPID or DUMB, mainly because you don't agree with them. Backing that up with the passive-aggressive "What do I know, anyway?" jabs is just added flavor for annoyance.

Stop riding threads to the ground just because you MUST prove to all involved that your way is the best and only way, and everyone else knows nothing compared to you.

Maybe you don't see that you're doing it, but I imagine you're not that oblivious to it. Perhaps you're not "trolling" in the urban dictionary definition of looking for a fight or just being as ass because you can, but you certainly try hard to make sure everyone knows you're right...

Just calling it how I see it.
