when attached to fill - the gauge needle fluctuates as the compressor cycles on and off - as I inject the Freon the needle stays in the "yellow" area on the gauge - when I release the trigger the gauge goes back to fluctuating as the compressor cycles - going from the "green" zone on the gauge to the "yellow" zone. I'm starting to think I need to turn this over to a professional before I mess something up - but I would like to learn as much as I can about what's going on before turning the car over to a shop - so they don't start talking over my head.

yes - but I wouldn't think it would be a "suction" hose -

Yeah, you definetly want to educate yourself before taking it to a shop. I have found that most automotive shops don't have a really good understanding of how A.C. works either and simply parts change their way through repairs.
