When they get old tend to get stuck open, so you get no compression.
ICE-32 has a great product that will lubricate, and help the valve work again, I already ordered mine, I will have the system evacuated, and then will refill, while adding the ICE-32.

I'm very interested to hear about the outcome of this, titodj! Do you have a Calsonic Kansel CSV 717??? Please report if the fix works for the compressor. I bought a new valve(MT2280) for like $11 bucks, but didn't try it out.......switched out my compressor thinking it was a diff issue.....even though my symptoms were I was getting NO compression with equal sides pressure.
