Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, here is a link that explains the most common causes for an AC not working or weak:

I have a couple questions needing answered. First, is the ac compressor engaging when the ac is turned on? Also, how much Freon was added and do you have gauges to check both the high and low sides pressures?

Here are a couple links to look through. First is how to add Freon and the second explains how to vacuum and recharge the system. In the second link, you will see the gauges I am referring to. If you can check what the high and low side pressures are and the outside temp when you checked, it will help me.

Let me know if you have questions and / or what you find.

Take care,
Joe
