In one of my 9000s, while the a/c definitely functions, it seems a little weak to me. I put a thermometer in the vent, and it never puts out air below 60F/16C (outside temp in the 77-86F/25-30C range, on the highway). When the ambient temp gets up in the 95F/35C range, it gets even worse, putting out about 68F/20C, which is barely cooling, especially with the Sun beating down on you. I've checked the manifold pressures, and they seem normal (35/200psi), so it doesn't seem like it's low on refrigerant. It seems to me that it used to work better, but I never actually put a thermometer in the vent before. Are those temp readings what I should expect, or should I be trying to find something wrong with the a/c?
