Those kits should only let you connect to the low side.

LOL, sorry. Search general maintenance for ac problems. I've typed the WHOLE procedure every time it's been asked but I'm done.

Like I always say---if you came out and your tire was flat would you just put air in it and take off down the road? No, Why? because you know the air leaked out right? So where do you think your refrigerant went (if thats even the problem).
All the info is here somewhere.
