My A/C is blowing hot. i checked the charge and looked over everything. the compressor keeps cycling on and off every couple of seconds. when the gauge is on it and the compressor is off the pressures are in the fifties to sixties, but once it cycles on it drops down to twenty and once it gets there it cycles back off.

If both high and low sides are running fairly equal pressure you may have a faulty compressor that is leaking from high to low side. i would need to know the exact readings or get a A/C tech to take a look, with the gauges on they will see exactly what it is doing and have a better idea as to the problem.
