99 ford escort. A/C problem

My ac went out on my 99 ford escort. I tried recharging it but it only
takes about a quarter of the can then stops. Im not sure what might cause
that. Is it a clogged or pinched line? Does anyone know what I can do?

Find someone to help you that knows what they are doing.

Soorryyyy That sounds harsh but you dont know enough about the system to
describe the symptoms, and there is not room or time on here to teach you
the basics of A/C.

Sorta like:
"What car wont start, does anyone know what's wrong?"

All i know is that the compressor still cuts on and its not frozen. Im
connected to the low pressure port but its just not taking the 134a for
some reason. I didnt know if maybe it needed to be hooked up to a vacuum.
I guess i just need to have a diagnostic done. I thought maybe it was
something easy that someone with some better knowledge about AC would know

All i know is the compressor kicks on and its not frozen. Im connected to
the low pressure port but its just not taking the 134a. Would be in my
best intrest to just take it for a diagnostic or is there something else
that i should try first?
