What’s wrong with your hands?

there's your problem

The car and the compressor have to be running when you read the gauge. If the compressor isn't on, then the pressure equalizes across both ports.

Is it only cold when moving? because that would be a condenser fan not working.

no, its random. runs cold about 20% of the time.

Okay well assuming that when you tested the pressure you had the car running with a/c on max and know that the compressor was running..

I'm more or less educated guessing here as I am not an a/c tech I am merely a parts monkey. But this could be a leak which has let air in and it's tripping high pressure shut off, or a blockage of some kind like in the evaporator or orifice tube, or the compressor is failing and not creating a good enough pressure differential.

It still could potentially be a condenser or fan issue if you haven't ruled that out. These systems are a real pain in the dick, once they fuck up you pretty much just rebuild the shit, orifice tube, evaporator, seal kit and get it vacuum re-filled.

If you want it truly fixed and not beating your head against it an actual a/c tech is preferable.

Just push down on the connection to open it up you have to keep the valve pushed down or else it wont open
