A/C clutch intermediate cut off ??? I did a cam swap recently. I bought a vacuume pump and guages to refill the AC system. Although not certified in anything but accounting (CPA) I did do A/C work in the 70's before they knew R12 was a bad *** gas....
Anyway, my AC blows cold about 98% of the time. During really hot days, however, the system shuts down after about 45 minutes on the highway. If I turn the AC off for a few minutes, and then turn it back on the AC blows cold again....
Is this some computer problem; I don't think it is related to a physical problem with the system - it appears to be some electrical circuit that is telling the compressor to not engage the A/C compressor clutch?
Any thoughts?
