OK so My AC stopped getting cool except early in AM when cool. Compressor clutch was replaced last year and it still engages for 2 seconds tops and disengages. Tried a can of refrigerant and no real improvement. Watched the system on Forscan and sure enough as soon as the compressor clutch starts the High pressure switches it off. Replaced both upper and lower switches no change. Then I remembered I had the service CD on the old computer ... UGGH the Hard drive has failed. Tried installing on newer laptop only to figure it wont run. The installer is a 16 bit deal so I downloaded OTVDM to emulate 16 bit on 64 bit laptop. It installed but the software still doesn't run. There is no new executable than the install. I was hoping to access the pinpoint tests and troubleshooting that was in the data. Does anyone have the service manual in PDF format by chance? I have checked the fan when engine is below 205 and turning the AC on to verify the fan works. I swapped a used CCRM in and no change. At this point I am thinking it has to be a restriction or the ECU is comanding the compressor off. If i could get to the data on the disk I could read the operation details. I am at wits end and not being able to remove humidity here in the deep south is a pain in the keester. I am open to ideas .
