If you have the Seiko compressor (which appears to be the only choice for 1993), then I would guess that you have the usual clutch air gap problem. BillJ has this written up on his site. It's an easy DIY fix, or you can take the write up to a shop and have them do it. But, if you are going to a shop, bring the write-up (or a platinum credit card) because they will probably replace everything else first.
I might have been the first one here to deal with that problem. I think it was last year, but it could have been the year before. When I asked here no one responded as having had a similar problem.
I finally had to take the car to 2 ac specialists to get it diagnosed correctly. Correct diagnosis was difficult because the problem was so intermittent. BillJ had a similar experience, except that I think he spent more than I did unnecessarily replacing parts and having the system charged.
Since then, there have been dozens of posts here describing these exact symptoms. So, I am wondering if this is a planned obsolence failure. If so, the Japaneese manufacturer was quite precise getting the parts to last pretty much exactly the same amount of time.
