I'm no AC expert but what your discribing sounds like the system is working fine but gets too cold and freezes up. That can be caused by a clog in the lines. There is a valve that usually the suspect in cases like this. Once the lines freeze up you wont get any circulation and the high pressure will ...

I have been also having MAF sensor problems and I found out from a Volvo specialists that the off brand maf sensor I put in there is usually not so good that they only use the Bosch factory spec Maf sensor.
