I don't know what's up with the gauges I don't think they're good. I don't know how much my pressure is now. I will buy one of them hoses with the built in gauge.

Lots of cheap A/C gauges out there these days, including the Chinese junk on those A/C cans . I'd get a good set, not an "El Cheapo" brand from Harbor Freight, J.C. Whitney, ect.

Assuming that you engaged the A/C clutch during installation of the R-134A, it should have taken the charge. Perhaps you can borrow a good set of gauges from someone, or a shop can test your system? Are you getting any cooling effect at all? Perhaps your system only needs two cans, not three?
