Hello I have a 2012 Ford fusion S 2.5L automatic with 185k miles. It's not pulling no codes. When you turn on AC it is blowing but it's not cold air at all. I had a friend check and see if it it needed Freon and He said it had very high pressure on the tube you put it on and the compressor would kick on but even after he tried taking the Freon out he could only put very little in before pressure would be to high. So I'm stuck at the moment on what to do any ideas would be great thank you in advance
It sounds like you're saying that the Low Side pressure is too high.
See if Scotty's video is helpful in diagnosing your AC pressures

Take it to a mechanic who specializes in HVAC related work. Air conditioners are not to be taken lightly.
Don't have funds for a mechanic at the moment so guess I'll just keep sweating it out till funds are available. Was just hoping someone had the same issue and could enlighten me on the problem. But thank you.
Sorry, but you gotta know what you're doing when working with an air conditioner. One of my first projects was learning how to properly work on my Ford Ranger's air conditioner. I more or less knew what the problem was. There was a leak somewhere in the system, using compatible dye, I was able to figure out that the condenser was the culprit. I'm an aspiring engineer, and I'm all about numbers, so I watched as many videos as I could before doing anything. I pulled vacuum with manifold gauges, and I put in precisely 20 oz of refrigerant in. You need a third hose to properly do this. It was freezing cold when I got in, and it was hot, that day. Those gauges read around 250 PSI when the AC is running properly, and most of the conduit is metal. If anything ruptures, you could quickly end up in the emergency room, or worse, dead.
Your friend doesn't know what he's doing. As @justin-shepherd said, bring it to an HVAC specialist before more damage is done or someone is even injured trying to work on it.

Sorry that's the case but it's apparent from the description of what's been done that there has been no proper diagnosis and at this point it's unknown how much refrigerant is even in there or what's going on inside that AC system. (By the way, "taking the Freon out" by venting to atmosphere is a Federal crime, not to mention that now the system is full of air and moisture if really emptied and not vacuumed. Unless your friend is a professional HVAC technician I doubt that proper refrigerant reclamation equipment was used.)
He didn't vent it he has like a vacuum for it he is going to school ATM hea got all his dad's stuff where he was a technician before he passed away and no no proper diagnosis at this point that's why I brought it here to see if someone has had a issue or have any ideas
Well if he has some training and proper equipment that's different. Did he check high and low system pressures? That would be the first diagnostic step.
to say that a person doesn't know what they are doing is uncalled for very rude
We aren't being rude. We just don't want people to get hurt or ruin their cars. We have to work with the information we get, and you didn't give enough detail in your question. If you had told us you vacuum pumped, or measured with gauges or whatever, you would have gotten a more accurate response.
90% of people who come here have little or almost zero AC knowledge, the correct answer is "take it to an expert" because without training you can ruin your own system.
I thought this was a forum to ask for help or see if anyone else has the same issue not to be told to take it to a mechanic that's the reason over half of the people are on here is to do it ourselves and if the system is vacuumed out shouldn't be a problem if a non certified person works on it and to say that a person doesn't know what they are doing is uncalled for very rude
The problem is that air conditioning is a specialty and a person with no experience and without the needed equipment can quickly make matters worse or even injure themselves. Many get roped into using those garbage "recharge cans" on retail shelves, selling the fiction that you can just "fill to the green" to fix your AC system, and that can make a real mess of things.
