Hello I'm currently an owner of a 2001 Acura integra gsr, I've been driving it for like about 2 years now with a ruined radiator support, and just recently the condenser finally gave out on me and started too leak, I had just changed it along with the o-rings for the lines that connect too it, I assembled it and took it too get the lines vaccuumed out, once I did that I added frieon and it worked 🙌🏼 I was very happy that I got it working but felt like it might have been missing some cause it just felt like cool air and not so much cold, so I went out and purchesed a little bottle of frieon and began adding some oh I wish I hadn't!. Because from adding that lil bit that compressor began too do a double click, the compressor will catch then let go and repeat doing it when driving, and even when it's parked, I've been told it might too much frieon so I took some out and I've take out a lot in the past two days and still begins too catch and reales.
Please help me I live in Orlando and it's hotter then hell on a Sunday here.

Thank you for reading this

 

About how far apart exactly is the turning on and off? It should do it about 10 seconds or so apart. That's normal. It's possible you never noticed it before.

What you shoulda done was test for leaks by pulling a vacuum for about a half hour(which pulls out all moisture in the system) and then wait a half hour to see if the vacuum releases. Obviously it shouldn't. If no leaks, then charge the correct amount by weight.

It's possible you have a leak somewhere. You need to have it evacuated and then the process above.

It might be good maintenance to replace the receiver/drier and the expansion valve. I've found in most instances when a system fails it's because of a leak or an expansion valve going bad, in that order.

 

i am very aware of it clicking on and off in about ten or so seconds, but it was doing it almost instantly just about 1 second apart.
Today I had the lines cleaned out, tested and it read 30psi on the low end and in between 150 and 200 on the high end then I waited. It didn't move, I had also noticed this was slightly leaking, I had it replaced with a new one. It did not leak from it this time around

 

The compressor will "short cycle" for two reasons, low refrigerant or too much refrigerant.

The only way to know is to recover what is left in the system and do a proper nitrogen pressure test, 250PSI of nitrogen for as long as possible, overnight if possible, if it holds then recharge with the correct amount of refrigerant, and add UV dye for future leak detection.

Once gauge set is removed check for leaking at service ports.

If compressor still short cycles, check for power to the compressor when running, if it cuts on and off, check pressure switch, compressor relay and AC thermostat. 94
