If you've got an ohmmeter you can also check the Pressostat for resistance. It should be 0 ohm with the engine off.

When you start the car, are you getting any flashing (recirc+a/c lights blinking for 20 seconds or so)?

Have you checked the pressure while you were doing it? If it had fallen too low the safety switch will keep the compressor from kicking on. Granted, it falling significantly should clue in to a leak.. BTW, you should have ~46psi.

If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?
