Start the car and turn on the a/c. Do both fans on the radiator turn on?

Also check your work. Did you accidentally unplug the a/c compressor? How about the fans?

Refer to post #9 in this thread to see if it is related to the heater valve.

Sounds like you may have "over charged" the system.

Really suggest having the high and low side pressures checked.

Never just add R134a to the system unless you verify that you have a low charge. Never guess on a/c work.

Overcharging the system is dangerous, because you can create excessively high pressure causing something to burst and hurt yourself or others. You can also damage the compressor and other components which is expensive.
