So I've refilled the a/c on cars in the past and have done this about 10 times now on different vehicles but never ran into this issue. I refilled my wife's 2006 pacifica a few weeks ago but was having issues getting the hose hooked up due to the location of the connection and the air filter in the way and I didn't have my tools with me so as I was trying to get hooked up I did bleed some of the air out trying to get connected. once I got it hooked up I put the whole can in it and the car still is not cooling. So the other day I put 2 more cans in it and it seemed ok but we didn't take it for a drive. Literally started the car to fill the a/c and shut it off and it sat for 2 days. Now the a/c is spitting every so often. At first I could see the refrigerant blowing out the front somewhere when I was sitting in the car but now I can only hear it spit when I am goin above 20-30 mph and it's random. To me it sounds like a pressure relief valve but I can't locate it. Did I put too much in it? Will this work itself out if it is a pressure relief? Anything I should do to fix this? It gets to 90-100 in Ohio and 80-100 percent humidity in the summer so its plenty hot out and if it was my truck I would just roll the window down but its for my wife and kids. I never had this happen so I don't know if I did something or if it was on the verge of going bad prior to this.
