Thanks for the info!

Has anyone used this stuff http://autorefrigerants.com/co00033.htm ? I'm told it works way better than R134 and won't cause black death of your system. Its also supposedly compatible with R12 systems, but you have to evac everything and possibly change the oil.

I did some testing. Running at idle the compressor would turn on and off periodically. When running at 3k RPM the compressor would engage and disengage almost immediately. Could this be cause by the system being overcharged, pressure switch immediately trips turning the compressor off. (at least that's how I think it works?) Also when the compressor does engage its pretty loud, makes me think it could be the original and the R-134a isn't playing nice with the lubricant for the compressor.
