Default 95 AC problem

The AC on my 95 is no longer cold, the compressor runs every 5 seconds for one second. What would cause this ?

Your Freon Charge needs to be checked, probably low.

Keep in mind that IF its low on charge, you got to ask yourself...

where did it go?

DO test pressure FIRST<> !

A plugged system will do the exact same thing. It has a high pressure cut-out so it does not blow up. A clogged orifice tube will make it run...shut down till the pressure drops then try to run again briefly. Adding gas is adding to the problem.

Borrow or rent some gauges from AutoMoan.
