Default A/C issue

I have a 95 LX and I just recharged my A/C. No problems until I used on can of R134A. Guage says the pressre it is is at 60psi when compressor is at idle. Drops down to 45psi when kicked on. My issue is it kicks on and off every 10 seconds.

No gauge manifold, don't even try to touch your a/c system.
You will do more harm if you don't have the tools and knowhow.

That is what I thougt but the guage says it is good(PSI in green area 45 to 60psi)

I put in a full can. My neighbor has a 5.0 mustang and has the exact same problem.

What do you mean a guage manifold. I line that I used to recharge it has a guage on it.

It would be best if I took it somewhere, but I have recharged many cars before and never had a problem.

That's usually caused by a high sside with too much pressure. Overcharged? Fans running? Restriction? Like stated above, a set of gauges would be a big help.
