The AC pro recharge is just to add to a system that has some freon in it already from what I read what you wrote your system was completely empty so you are going to have to keep putting freon in until your compressors clutch stops clicking once it stops clicking the system is full so do not use the AC pro just but the freon in the little cans

Buy the freon in the little cans it's cheaper then the AC pro.

You may also try adding a can of freon stop leak it may stop your leak if it is a small leak. If that does not work time to have system repaired.

It's not Freon Its R134a and here is a chart for Corolla 2003 -2008 click for full screen

Sorry FordNut do not now were you get your information but R 134a is a freon.

The Receiver/dryer serves the same purpose as the accumulator in other cars.

Freon is chlorofluorocarbons. R134A is dichlorodifluoromethane, a haloalkane refrigerant
