My car was just checked for the possiblility that it needed freeon. Its blow air only and it's not cold. The test gauge indicated it had good psi and it wouldn't except the freeon gas. I guess it was full. I could see the belt driving the gear was fine, it was spinning. I not sure what else the problem could be. Please give me a couple of ideas of possiblilities and some kind of cost if you can. Thank you

Start with checking the compressor, what are the high and low pressures? If over full the A/C will not work, how much refrigerant is in the system?
