Default Where do you guys get your A/C filled????

The shop said I had low pressure on the high side. I see in other posts that low and high are on the same port. Are they doing it wrong or is my ac broken???

Default Usually You check pressure on the Low Side line...

There are two separate ports behind your firewall. One low and one High. the Low side line is the larger diameter hose. I filled mine using a kit from NAPA

Default You need to check both low and high side pressure. Armed with that...

and the ambient temperature and the temp of the discharge of your A/C when it's on "max", it's possible to make some guesses as to what's wrong with your A/C. Without all that data, you're just taking shots in the dark.

The 96 's don't have a low port. You can only check and fill the high side

He didn't specify the year. If it's a 96, then that's true...and you don't want to do that yourself
