your first mistake is saying your system needs freon, no vehicle newer than 90 (as far as i know) uses freon. The refrigerant used is called R-134A, a mistake i hope you would avoid is charging your a/c system with a can w/o either using the gauges or adding sealant.

My next statement as to why your a/c is not blowing cold air is maybe the evap has frozen, or since you say the system cycles frequently then you have blockage causing high pressures and the causing the a/c cycling switch to turn off the compressor.

Also when does it stop blowing a/c, all the time or when u have the pedal to the floor
