What’s the PSI of the air conditioner in a Honda Civic?
So, back to the hoses. This time, I revved the car up to about 1,500 to 2,000 RPM (since the Civic seems to idle at around 500 rpm). Sure enough, he said that the low pressure was being sucked down to about 20 PSI and the high-pressure was kicking way up again past 400 PSI.
