There could be a number of reasons, and those could be narrowed down a bit if you had included the actual pressure it was running (along with the high side pressure), as well as the ambient air temperature during testing.

Possible causes may include excessive refrigerant and/or oil, a low pressure switch failure which causes the compressor to run constantly, and blockage on the low side. Incorrect testing methods are also a possibility.

Where is the low side charge fitting on a 2003 Chevy Tahoe?

The low pressure side of the ac system is the ac hose that runs from the inside of the vehicle to the ac compressor. The high pressure side runs from the ac compressor to the condensor in front of the radiator. Follow the ac hose from the compressor back to the body and you will find the charge fitting. It is smaller in diameter than the high pressure side. You would need a different adapter to hook up to the high side.

Which port on AC compressor is low pressure 1999 Chevy blazer?

They may be marked "S" and "D" for suction (low side) and discharge (high side). A simpler way would be to look at the lines going into and out of the AC.... the smaller line will be the high pressure line, while the larger line will be the low pressure line. The low pressure line will connect at the compressor inlet, and the high pressure line will connect at the compressor outlet.
