4kq air conditioning

[Richard J. Andrews]

Mine is doing the same thing...
it appears low on freon when i jumper it...
low pressure reads 30 @idle, 150 high...
when i rev it up to 2000RPM drops below 10       on the low side and high 
side barely climbs...
seems low to me...
probably what's wrong..
i'll find out after i top it off i suppose..
