I assume thats the low side pressure with the compressor running? It should be more like 25-30 psi. Its normal for the compressor to cycle off every minute or so, its designed that way. Its called a CCOT system (constant cycle, orifice tube system). There is a high pressure cutout switch that is probably shutting off the compressor, especially now with the warmer weather. Bleed it down to 30 psi and see how that does. Good luck ............ Mike
