What kind of "stop leak" did you use? If it was just a 12-14oz can with a little stop leak in it, that will not present a problem.

If you used a 3oz can of stop leak, times two, and did not follow it up with a can of r134a, that will mess up the schrader valve. Any outside air in your system will gum up the internals, fill up the dryer/accumulator, and generally screw up the system.

Rapid cycling is normally caused by low pressure and low amounts of R134a. In your case, the stop leak might have gummed up the evaporator and now you are out of luck.

Time to roll the windows down or get the evap system replaced.
