1995 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Automatic

Thank you, I was able to fix the orifice problem.
My second question is after fixing the orifice the clutch on my compressor was still chirping. I put an ample supply of freon in the a/c system and my compressor is still cutting on and off. What can I do to stop the clutch on my compressor from turning on and off (making the chirping noise).

SUSPECT SYSTEM LOW ON 134A



Park vehicle out of direct sunlight.
Connect manifold gauge set.
Start and run engine at 1500 RPM.
Set A/C controls to MAX A/C (recirculated air) and maximum cold.
Set blower/fan on high speed, and close doors and windows.
Insert thermometer in center vent. Operate system for 10 minutes to allow system to stabilize.
Measure center vent output temperature. Center vent temperature will be 34-46°F (1.1-7.8°C) with ambient temperature of 60-90°F (15.6-32.2°C).
At about 68°F (20°C) ambient temperature, high side pressures should be approximately 100-200 psi (7.0-14.1 kg/cm2 ). Low side pressures should be approximately 22-47 psi (1.5-3.3 kg/cm2 ).
As low side pressure decreases, high pressure side should increase. When A/C clutch disengages, low side pressure will increase and high side pressure should decrease.
Low side pressure remains constant throughout normal operating range.
