Default A/C Not Cold

Looks like my '95 six speed baby is going to the doctor. (A/C specialist)

Took it to my local mechanic who purged and filled the A/C system, this worked a little but it still can't keep up with the California heat. Also had a leak check done, no leaks.

There are no codes, the air gets a little cold, and the compressor seems to labor too much. The cycling of the A/C is very noticable.

Any thoughts about what might be going on?

:confused:

usually when it cycles often it sounds like it's low on freon. Also check to see if the low freon switch is going bad.

Compressor cycling could be low refrigerant. However, you just had it charged. A plugged orifice tube could also produce cycling.

Check the high-pressure switch,too. Also, don't forget to change the dryer/accumulator, too, as it's the filter of your A/C sytem. :lol:
