I believe the freon needs to be checked by a machine that pulls it all out, and weighs it.

Sometimes the LP switch connector receptacles get loose on the connector. Get a dental pick and just tighten them up a little. Worked for me a a couple of other guys.

If it runs for a short period then shuts down, even with the LP switch bypassed, then you may actually have a high pressure situation which could be from an over-charge or from a plugged orifice tube.
