you can still read your pressures without the system running. is your a/c light blinking when it turns on?

Your problem could be that your a/c compressor is on its way out. If the compressor is giving the system to much resistance it will shut off. If your compressor is making noise that is a good indication its on its way out. Make sure you have put dye in the system and check the lines,condenser,evaporator,dryer for any leaks cause it could leak right out as soon as you fill it up. If there is dye leaking out you can use a UV light or black light to find the leak. As mentioned above does your a/c light blink cause you can check for codes if it is blinking which can help you out.
