CM Grand Sport A/c Problem

HEY GUYS! My 96 started blowing warm.It came stock with r134.Compressor was not turning.I usedn leak detector that showed no leak.I attempted to fill with r134 ,as it was filling the compressor began cycling on and off.Inside it began getting cooler but DID NOT get as cold as ir should.Then it just didnt accept any more freon .I disconnected hose therefore.The a/c now just keeps on cycling on and of literally every 4-5 seconds .I dont remember this as normal.When the guage is hooked up it reads low when compressor cycle off,when it cycles on;the pressure goes to40-45 then drops when it cycles off.It wont take anymore freon than I put in.Im no expert but i think something like a sensor could be fault.dOES ANY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?I would really appreciate it. THANKS

sounds like it is still low on 134 to me . I would suspect that you do have a leak somewhere but you will need to add dye or sniff test again with more charge in ths system steve

HI there,
I do agree here.
IF the compressor is still cycling, then it doesnt see enough R134A in the system.
Allthebest, c4c5
