Thank you for your help.

Answer
Hi Harold

If your system was retrofitted they should have put an orifice tube that can regulate itself.  When you retrofit to R-134 you can not add all the refrigerant to the system.  Your system is undercharged and the computer is going into a fail safe mode to protect your compressor.  If you can't find that orifice valve then try to add some refringent but not too much.
