As the title says, I think I might have overcharged my AC system. I live in Arkansas and wanted to make sure my AC worked before it gets really hot here. It wasn't blowing really cold so I bought a low side pressure gauge read the instructions plus the FSM and dove in.
It was reading low so I added two cans of R134a and it started blowing ice cold but the sight glass was still showing bubbles with the AC on high around 1500 rpms. I probably should have stopped there but of course I didn't. I went ahead and added another can for a total of 36oz. Now I read it should be around 30oz +/- 1.5.
I'm over around 4 or 5 oz but it's still blowing ice cold and the sight glass is running clear but doesn't foam when the system is turned off (not even for a second, which I read it's supposed to).
So my question is, Is this going to cause problems? If so can I bleed some of the R134a out to bring it back into specs. I searched but never found a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
