Air conditioning problems

Hi guys! I drive an 05 acura tl and I'm having problems with my air. When I click on the air it blows hot and the compressor is not kicking on. We have jumped it from the relay and the compressor has kicked on but there was a problem with something not cooling it off and it built up too much pressure and blew freon out the bottom. If someone could please help me to figure out what the problem is I would greatly appreciate it because I have no clue about anything air wise on cars thanks!

Not the best way to test the system as it's dangerous and now with refrigerant and oil lost you'll need to start from square one.
With gauges installed, discharge, vacuum and charge with proper amount of refrigerant.
Fans working?

I would take it to a shop to have the system properly tested before you do more harm to the system.

If you need a Compressor I have one from my 05 I parted out. PM me and we can discuss.

Agree with the others. You need a pro. The relay bypass is only to diagnose a bad clutch/filed coil. It's not a way to run the system. If the clutch clicked when you bypassed the relay then that's a clear indicator that, assuming the clutch relay is good, something else was probably keeping the compressor disengaged for very good reason.

I don't think the fans are working something isn't keeping the compressor cool when it's on so it overheats.
