a/c not blowing cold!!!

hi guys. I have a 2001 maxima se and the a/c is blowing warm. I recovered, vacuumed and charged the system, gauges are reading correctly, blend door works, heat works, cab filters changed and compressor is working. kind of stuck on what else it might be. any clues on what to check next?

Yes. It's clicking on and off. I'm going to check tomorrow morning how the low and high side lines feel, if they get hot or cold when it's running.

Check the r134 ref see if its leaking out of the high or low lines. If empty fill it up with the r134 freeon.

If it's clicking on/off you either have too much or too little Freon. Get a gauge and measure it up, this happened to when I first had my car as well.

It has the right amount of freon, I vacuumed and charged the system with the ac machine at my job. I ran it this morning and both lines, high and low side, are both warm. I think the compressor may be shot.
