I have a 91 Cherokee that I'm trying to convert from R12 to R134a. I had an AC guy try to recover the R12, but he said it was 98% air. I'm using one of the InterDynamics kits and thought everything was going smoothly. Even though the instructions did not mention it, someone told me that I needed to remove the valve core from the low side port, since the conversion kit supplied adaptor fitting already has one. I have a valve core removal tool, but I can't seem to locate the valve core inside the fitting. After installing the adapter fittings, I tried to add some R134, but the meter is saying that it's overcharged. I don't believe that any R134 is even making it into the system. Another guy told me that I need to pull a vacuum on it. Has anyone else had this problem before?
Thanks,
Sam
