Low freon will cause it not to come on. Changing to 134 you need to change the filter dryer. The aluminium can just in front of the compressor. Get as much of the oil out of the old compressor as possible and fill with ester or PAG oil. This should be done with the compressor removed. Keep track of how much oil you get into the compressor. The system will need 12.5 Oz total oil and about 24 Oz freon. Look for leaks before you start so you don't wast your time and money. Leaks will appear as an oily spot.
