R12 and R134a are not compatible refrigerants and may cause your lines to clog...

You also have both high & low pressure switches in the system- If the system was OVER-charged, it will kick off just the same as if there were not enough. Did the shop that charged it put a vacuum on the system and make sure it didn't leak before charging it?
Im not sure how they do their job, but I think using R12 or R134a was the problem. They might have used the wrong one. Do you know what kind of refrigerant my 93 240sx s13 uses? R12 or R134a? Imma go back to the shop and ask them which kind of refrigerant they used.

ps: They did mention something about my car running out of "Freon". As far as i know, Freon is R12. I could be wrong tho. Im not an expert on this subject. So i just have to figure out which kind of refrigerant my 93 240sx uses.
