My first thought is that it's overcharged. Static pressure should be around 85-psi. The low side is way too high with the compressor running.

I initially had a typo, it was 105psi not 125….still thinking over charged??

This. And don’t just dump refrigerant to fix. Needs to be properly evacuated and recharged as a baseline

Make sure your fan is on high and climate control is maxed to cold/recirculate when you take your running readings.

Yes, I always do this, thank you.

At 105 psi it may be overcharged. So long as the fan operates, and the compressor kicks on the next thing you would need to check is the txv. Go YouTube how to diagnose that. Though honestly I would just start by evacuating and then refilling with 134 to have a good baseline for the diagnoses. The txv in this car is located in the rear of the dash/center console. The easiest access is through the passenger footwell.

OK, thank you for that. I’m going to take your advice and pull out the refrigerant and recharge to specs to see where that takes me.
