Good morning.

Can you see if the clutch is engaged when you have the AC on?

What pressure do you see on your gauge?

I stated my clutch is turning and the gauge is on the can of refrigerant all it is ,is green blue yellow or red it was in blue. If I had a gauging system I probably would know what was wrong with it.

Okay, you can rent a set of gauges at a parts store or buy a cheap set at Harbor Freight for about $30.00. Then you can monitor high and low side pressures to see if the system is working correctly.

Is the line returning from the evaporator cold to the touch?

When you command the heat and cool, can you hear the blend door actuator moving back and forth? If it is stuck in the heat position, it will not allow cold air from the vents.
