This is a good example why A/C repairs are not DIY jobs. There are far too many problem situations that have to be recognized and the result of a mistake is usually a lot more damage that it started with. I suggest you get it diagnosed at a shop that does a lot of A/C work and don't use it in the meantime. You are on the verge of losing your compressor if you haven't already.
