Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
If the compressor is engaging and then not continuing to work, there could be a couple things causing it. First, the most common is low Freon in the system. Here is a link which describes how to recharge the system:

Here is a link which describes how to fix it based on different possible problems:

In the first link, you noticed that they have two gauges being used. One is for the high side pressure and the other, the low side pressure. If by chance you have manifold gauges, let me know what the pressure readings are and the outside temperature when you test them. That will help me pinpoint a potential problem.
I hope this helps. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
