Preface this with stating I do not know a whole lot about the air conditioning systems in vehicles, but when a buddy of mine asked if I wanted to armchair quarterback his ac work i felt like it'd be a good show. He has a 2009 impala and his compressor was not kicking/staying on with, "the ac button would blink 6 times or turn itself on or off." Long story short he jumped the compressor relay, hooked up an acpro can and I got to watch as something gave out in this system. A giant hissing cloud of what I assume is r134a rose from in front of the engine and I'm assuming it was due to an overfill blowing a hose or something of that nature out.
Afterward this whole ordeal there was a tiny puddle of green ac dyed oil on the ground underneath his vehicle and the low pressure fitting still had pressure.
Now I have my speculation, but I'm wondering if someone with more knowledge than I could impart some knowledge onto me?
