grey88gt,
Well, you're gonna' have to argue with the automakers on that one! Many R-134a cars have pre-set cycle switches that can't be adjusted and guess what.........they're set to cut out the compressor at anywhere between about 19 and 22 psig.

If you're system is charged with R-134a and the evaporator is freezing up with the cycle switch adjusted to cut-out at 19 psig, then more than likely the system is slightly undercharged!

Here in Michigan the humidity is pretty high too. Never yet had an R-134a evaporator freeze up at 19 psig.

Sure you're gauges are accurate?
