A/C issue

Anyone ever had this happen?

A/C is running at 65 degree setting....on Recycle Air mode.....air is NOT cold.....then Recyle mode switches to Outside Air mode by itself (click sound). Still NOT cold. I hit Recyle manually....again it switches to Outside Air mode. Continues to do this for the next 5 times.

Turned off the engine....restarted the car....and still does the same thing.

I got home and popped the hood....put the A/C gauge on there.

I got plenty of R134a in there....just refilled with small can last month. Is this due to overfill? My gauge says im in the green level (good)......closer to yellow level (warning).

I let some R134a out from the low side....gauge is now in middle of green level....seems ok now...and blowing cold.

It was probably just due to you overcharging the system, if it started working after you let some out.

This happens to me from time to time, i just set the fan on 3 bars and it starts blowing cold withing a minute or so. Its strange, makes me wonder if there is anything wrong. I checked my r134 level as well, and it was showing that my system was overcharged, i never did anything to it in the past year and a half that ive had the car.
