Default another a/c questions! please help

i got it flushed, vacuumed, charged. but i feel as thought its not as cold as it should be while at a stop. it blows cool, maybe 77ish; when its like 95 outside. very cold when at a stop @ night. its gets very cold, below 65 degrees, when 40mph+. what could it be?

also theres condensation on the low side lines. is this normal?

PS: fans works when a/c is turned on. no debree on condenser fins.

thanks!

why was it flushed?
what was the original complaint?
was there a compressor failure?
was the x valve replaced?
is the correct amount of refrigerant installed?
was it diagnosed correctly to start?
low side pressure at idle? 2500?
high side pressure at idle? 2500?
vent temp?
temp drop across condenser?
temp drop across evaporator?
airflow across condenser?
airflow across evaporator?


just a few questions a good AC man will find the answers to.....

not sure what you mean by 2500 but its around 43 psi

high side pressure at idle? 2500?

77-80 ish @ a stop, 96 degree outside. below 65 when driving 40+mph

temp drop across condenser?
not sure how to check

temp drop across evaporator?
not sure

airflow across condenser?
looks good to me?

airflow across evaporator?
cleaned out all debree when change x valve.


PS: condensation on the lines normal?

is it possible that the blower has too much debree in it? sounds weird but i read it off honda-tech. all your help is appreciated!
