Strange AC problem...this is a new one and a stumper! Posted by turrbo [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
So last Friday I finally got my AC recharged. I have had a slow leak in one of the hoses ('95 CS) for the past few years, and each year I've just had the system evacuated and recharged and all is well.
Starting Saturday, my AC started cycling in and out. For example, I'd drive for a few miles with nice cool air, then it would kick out and I'd have no AC. Then, after a few more miles, the AC would return.
The interesting thing is, the compressor ran the WHOLE time. Even when un-air conditioned air was blowing out of the vents, I could hear the compressor.
IIRC, isn't it supposed to cycle on and off? I opened the hood and noted that the compressor stays on constantly for a long period of time (gave up after 5 minutes)...could that be related?
Thanks for any ideas...I did recalibrate the ACC and there aren't any fault codes.
