Refrigerant Type: 134a
Ambient Temp: 77
Pressure Low: 30
Pressure High: 160

My a/c compressor runs constantly now that I put in the total amount of 134a (26oz)....maybe there's just a bit more (I have no way of measuring the amount put in but I know it's over 24oz. (by way of back ground- I R&R the compressor, dryer, orifice and flushed the system yesterday).

Yesterday, when there was about 24oz in, with an ambient temperature of 65, the compressor cycled off and on every 8 secs. or so. Pressures were, I think, 145/25.

Should I expect the compressor to be running constantly now?

If not.....how can I fix it?

Thanks.
