I suggest that you take it to a professional AC service place. They have to measure the R134 coming out and putting back in, in order to get the right amount in there. Too little, you can ruin the compressor. Too much, the over-pressure sensor will be shutting down the compressor as the temp goes up. Its not like the R12 systems where you filled until there were no more bubbles in the sight-glass and so on. Usualy service is like $50-$60
