The AC pro recharge is just to add to a system that has some freon in it already from what I read what you wrote your system was completely empty so you are going to have to keep putting freon in until your compressors clutch stops clicking once it stops clicking the system is full so do not use the AC pro just but the freon in the little cans

Buy the freon in the little cans it's cheaper then the AC pro.

You may also try adding a can of freon stop leak it may stop your leak if it is a small leak. If that does not work time to have system repaired.
It's not Freon Its R134a and here is a chart for Corolla 2003 -2008 click for full screen

This is the orifice tube tennisshoes is talking about ...and Corolla does not use an accumulator
firebird338 answered 9 years ago
Sorry FordNut do not now were you get your information but R 134a is a freon.
The Receiver/dryer serves the same purpose as the accumulator in other cars.
Freon is chlorofluorocarbons. R134A is dichlorodifluoromethane, a haloalkane refrigerant
I stand corrected tennisshoes, I had part of it backwards. Mixed up. Thanks for the correction.

When I buy a can from the parts store it says R 134a Freon right on the can.

After further investigation you are right but I will still consider my self a laymen.
Guys if the ambient temperature is above 110 F like 122 F how is the R134A is going to react ? Do you have a chart or something ? . Thanks.
