proper way to recharge the system (to ensure correct refigerant and oil amt) is to

1. evacuate the system
2. see if it holds a vaccum for at least 8 hours if not, repair leaks and replace accumulator/dryer and test again. (you only need to replace the acumulator/dryer once)
3. recharge using proper amt of R134a and PAG oil.

if the system is overcharged by a significant amount, the high pressure switch will prevent the compressor from engaging.

The next time you are under the hood, look around for the little sticker that says WHAT YEAR the Accord is
