What you're doing is correct. You didn't mention it, but the a/c should be switched on as well.
First question: Does the compressor engage at all?
Next question: That car should have an electric fan on the condenser. If it doesn't come on, it can cause a high pressure symptom. In that case though, it would blow hot while sitting still and cold when you're travelling on the road.
Could be a restriction in the system, but without knowing what the pressure is on both sides it's hard to diagnose.
I did forget to mention it, but I did have the A/C turned on (good point though).
How I tell if the Compressor engages? I can see the belt hooked up to it, and that's turning.
I'll have to check on the fan on the condenser, but I do get hot air blowing if car sit stationary or traveling on the road.
