A/C crapping all the 134 out

[Micah]

Hello I'm new to the site as I just bought a 2000 classic. Anyways I have a problem with my a/c. I filled it to the desired pressure as it was out when I got it. after about 10 minutes of running the a/c it starts to puke all the fluid out of the back of the compressors check valve and the pressure on the gauge is really high. I have called around and done some searching on here and it seems the fixed orifice tube may be clogged causing this to happen. The problem I am having is locating the part at the parts store here in town. They all want to sell me the entire hose assembly. Can I buy just the tube or do I need to buy the whole shabang?

Also where is the tube located in the line?

That would be great but this is the wifes Jeep. I drive a Grand wagoneer with 10 inches of lift and 35" boggers.

it's leaking out of the valve core or the compressor itself?

go hit up and advance auto parts in your area and ask for a valve core kit

Well I talked to my wifes uncle ( he is an A/C guy) and he says the filter is clogged. I just replaced the compressor and though I had it till it spit the fluid out again. I have gone through about 12 cans of 134a now in the past week. I did find the orifice tube today at advanced and got it for 2.99. I will try that after I get outa the woods tomorrow (hunting season is open here).
