Definitely low on Freon. You can get the recharge kit almost anywhere for
134a which will save lotsa' bux. If you have a significant leak you'll know
it in a few days when the compressor starts cycling like that again. If
that's the case, you may have to have a pro look at it. bring your
checkbook. <G>

It sounds like it's short cycling which usually means it has a low Freon
condition.

Hi all,

 

After owning my car for 1.5 years, the current hot weather in Cincinnati
finally drove me to get the a/c looked at.  [The fact the fiancee's car a/c
died and I have to remove the entire dash to get at the evaporator had more
to do with it.]

 

While going down the highway at constant speed, I notice that I can feel the
compressor kick in and out about once a minute.  Is this normal?  It's
slight, but I can still feel it.  I thought that once the a/c was on, it was
on.  I also had the thing converted to 134a, for what that's worth.

 

They also re-aligned the wheels, but I'm still all over the place with those
truck ruts in I-75.  <grin>

 

regards,

 

Sean
