The A/C won't stay on it turns off by itself.

Does the system have a full charge? If not, the system will turn off and then on again, please go over this video to help see if the charge is good:

If the system has a full charge, I would use a test light to see if the compressor is getting power when it is not working which will tell you the compressor clutch is going bad.
