Default AC problem

no this isn't a climate control display thread

over the past few days, after the car has sat for a few hours, when you turn the AC on, it turns on and off constantly for about 10 minutes then it usually kicks in

on the drive from Charleston to Columbia (1.5-2hours) it turned on and off the whole way until i hit the exit ramp then all of a sudden the display temp dropped from the 98-101 that it was normally down to 91 and the AC kicked on and started blowing cool.

what in the hell is going on???
i've charged it to the 45-50 psi that is recomended on the recharge bottle
