AC compressor cycles off
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:08 pm
Hello,
I have a 1990 Legacy LS Wagon. When I bought the car someone had converted it to R-134a, but it was not blowing very cold. Had the system pulled to a vaccum, added new r134a and and oil charge, charged it up to 18lbs, And I got ice cold air.
Now in the next day or two, the compressor has been cycling off and on, sometimes rapidly, before the car has cooled. Sometimes it starts doing it as soon as I turn on the as. Is this normal for the AC to cycle this often, or do I have bigger problems?
