Default 2001 Gt Eclipse Ac compressor shuts off

I just installed new ac compressor and tensioner and belt. The ac was pulling down to 38-42 degrees in 99 degree heat. Drive the car for about 10 minutes and the compressor shuts off and the green light starts blinking on the ac /fan selector switch inside. What is the deal. Clutch disengages or compressor shuts down for high pressure or what. My a/c gauges look good and she blows cold until you drive down the road and then all of a sudden it shuts off and will not come back on until the thing cools off the ice cold again. Mitsubishi is about to **** me off.

I already fixxxed the evaporator drain plug problem that plagues these cars. The engineer needs his head slapped that designed that drain design.

Well all i have is a auto parts freon install gauge that tells you if your low or full or over full. It reads good. Dont have good gauges that actually read the pressures.
