Just dropped a Napa rebuilt AC Compressor & new dryer in my 83 FJ60. PO had already done an r134 conversion, but old compressor's front seal gave out on me.
So... installed new Compressor & dryer, new seals on most line joints, added r134 friendly oil to both, did an old-school "quick-purge" of lines (compressed air, cuz I'm broke). Got cans of r134, tried to bring the pressure high enough for compressor to engage, but it never does.
My ac fuse is not blown, got strong steady pressue for 24 hours now, but don't know what else to try before spending more $$ for an ac pro to resurect it... Any thoughts? Searched the forum here for over an hour, lots of info, but nothing nailing my issue...
