You said:
there is a HIGH = pressure switch on your compressor somewhere ...it's
likely failing, or the = pressure really is getting too high (which means
that something down the line = from the switch is restricting the flow ...
like the expansion valve has = died). anyway, that switch cuts the compressor
OFF if the pressure in the = system gets too high. that sounds kinda like
what you're describing. :(

>the inside of the van will reach 100F in no time = flat! I can find ab-

tint, tint, tint!!!! :) and also put about 8" of = tint across the top of the
windshield (one piece won't work ... it = crinkles. you'll have to make two
pieces that meet in the middle, behind the = rearview mirror). this REALLY
helps give you some "sunglasses" when = you are driving INTO the sun, like
early in the morning or late in the = afternoon. :)

good luck!!

You may be right about the TX valve, but I traced every inch of the = line and I can't find any pressure switches ( I think that the later models = do have switches at the condenser. I also hear a buzzing noise when the = compressor is running (coming form the condenser) could there be a block? The = hotter it gets, the louder the noise is. I live in the Palm Springs area = and it gets damn hot here. When I go to work, my poor bus has to = sit in the sun all day... by the time I go home, it's blistering in there ( and = opening the windows for venting is useless because at 5pm it's still over 110F outside).
