A/C was not blowing cold air. Replaced A/C and put in approximately two and half cans of 134A after vacuuming out system. Also replaced low pressure switch on accumulator (suggested on another thread). Still cycling on/off every ten seconds but at least now blowing cooler air.

It sounds like you might need more Freon. Check you this guide to see if the system is fully charged
