Crazy A/C problem

[jyrogearloose]

It's a 2003 w/2.0 SPI, 80k. I've had it since last fall. The A/C didn't turn on at first, but then it did a few days later, but we didn't try using it again untill a couple months ago. It wouldn't turn on (no green lcd, clutch doesn't engage, fans on radiator dont come on) again. Blower fan works at all speeds, max A/C and green lcd work (blows uncooled air). Then a week later it turns on (green lcd also) and cools at all fan speeds for a week or so but wont turn off unless the fan is turned off. This cycle repeats. Currantly it wont turn on, and it's hot as hell outside. I noticed that the compressor had a nice coat of oil and dirt so I figured there was a leak. The S. belt needed to be replaced so I got one and an A/C kit.
Before I did anything I removed the stereo and panel to look at the switch and controls. Everything looked fine, put back together, and all of a sudden everything works, on/off etc. except it doesnt cool very well and the clutch is going on and off a lot. Sooooooo...I break out the kit and mannage to get most of 1 can in.....cools even less. Now it wont turn on again.
What would you do next? By the way, the check engine OBD symbol shows now on the dash, and I havn't found my code reader yet.

solved...wires twisted and cracked at compressor connection. Codes solved via pcv hose elboe.

Solved completely? Because it sounds to me like you put too much refrigerant in the AC, and I bet it is only cooling mediocrely now.
