New evaporator / doesnt cycle /need help 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be frankd on  Tue Sep 2 13:08 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Greetings again,
Have a/c problem, 94 850 turbo about 120 k miles,it does not seem to be cycling at all.
Just completed evap replacement job at home, insane!
replaced evap,filter/drier,(past weekend) pressostat(fairly sure pressostat that i replaced was ok too) about a month ago, recharged and added some pag oil. did not evacuate system. put in about 2 cans 20-24 oz r134, ice cold today but no cycling.the compressor is original, i also replaced the orifice tube bout 4-6 weeks ago. is possible i have blockage somewhere?previously had also used the metal sealer from autozone which worked for long time, but before evap replacement couldnt get a/c to turn on at all, also now both pipes going to evap are sweating and cold. should i have system evacuated by shop? in shop manual mentions about piping not touching metal, is for wear and tear or electrical potential? anyone have this problem any help appreciated,
thanks
frankd south fl
