ok thoughts from the road out in the big rig ,,,,,,,, as my 2000 Buick Regal , is now only blowing cold air at low speeds on the road, in town , highway speeds cold air turns not hot but not cold

I stopped home and threw my gauges on it and it shows 50 psi low and i think 175 -200 high side ,, not positive but ambient was 90 degrees out last week end .
car historically uses /leaks about 8/10 oz of R134 every 2 years and it gets stored in the winter ,,, compressor was kinda noisy maybe oil is down???

its a garage queen and i want to take it to Indy for the drag races over labor day


thoughts and comments are appreciated
 
The pressure differential is on the low side which is usually caused by a worn compressor on a Orifice System.

As I'm sure you're aware....The Harrison H6 Compressor is notorious for leaking on these & leak quite a bit of oil with the refrigerant, Low oil is a death sentence for the compressor.
