I hooked up a can with with a gauge on it, it showed full and wouldn't take any freon. Earlier I meant I don't have dual gauges to check hi/low pressure.

Anyway, some common problems I have had were restricted orifice tube and being overcharged. I don't even know if your system uses a tube or not.
FWIW there are do-it-yourself recharge kits that include a pressure gauge on the refrigerant bottle.

I didn't check for icing, but icing must take sometime to occur and I have this problem from start up. I'll check out the Cavalier forum and see if it has a tube.

The electric fan kicks in full blast when I turn the A/C on.
