did I mess up my a/c?

Hey guys,I just messed up I think, I went to recharge my a/c and it said it was over filled in the gauge, so I started letting out the refrigerant through my low pressure port, I let out too much and sprayed more in until it was in a good level, but now, instead of moderately cold air like before, it just blows hot. Any ideas?

Did you evacuate the system PROPERLY first? If not, thats probably your problem. I have never had good luck with those "do it yourself" R134A cans.

Pretty sure your high side is overcharged hence the hot air. You need a proper gauge to read both low and high side. The DIY kits only provide low side. You must take it to a shop to have the entire system vacuumed and recharged now.

Something tells me you looked at pressures while the compressor was not running...
