AC light blinking/AC nor working

So, I have a 2001 celica GT-S. I have been fighting the AC on this car since I bought it in September last year (2025) and I have replaced the cabin air filter, the compressor, and the relay. The system is holding pressure after it got charged when the compressor was replaced. What else could it be thats causing the ac to not work? The clutch for the compressor works, the fan turns on, and then it all just turns back off. Ive heard it's a safety thing to keep it from tearing itself apart. But I still haven't found the actual problem causing it all. PLEASE HELP, ANY TIPS/ADVICE IS WELCOME!!! (Picture to grab attention)

1ZZFE timing cover gasket

What on earth is the timing cover gasket for the 1zzfe on the 01 celica gt, because what i ordered fits absolutely nothing along my timing cover, and I ordered it straight from the parts store. The only thing that may fit is the crankshaft gasket/seal but im having one hell of a time getting the old one out because i accidentally ripped it and it just will not budge at all. PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED!!!

Hey friends, got an oil leak from my valve cover on my 01 GT-S, I know how to replace it, I was just wondering what brands everyone has had good experiences with and if there's any particular place to get them thats just better than the others. Located in the USA. Any advice/help would be super appreciated as I have to do this soon so I dont miss too much work as I dont want to drive it when its slinging oil on the exhaust manifold.

Hey friends, so i started pulling apart the motor on my 01 GT, spark plugs are fouled and it seems like the entirety of the cylinders are filled with oil. I was planning to try and rebuild this one, but wonder if it would be better to just buy a crate 1ZZ and drop it in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 2001 Toyota Celica GT 5 speed manual. If I do go after a new motor, where would be the best place to get one?
