Low system pressure until the whole thing gets hot?
How's your low side pressure look and does it start
to engage the clutch if you bypass the low side
pressure switch?

Or are you talking about the in-cabin end of things?

Default On/off A/c

WHEN THE SYSTEM COMES ON IT WORKS JUST FINE, MEANING IT GETS VERY "COOL". ON THE A/C CONTROLS INSIDE OF THE CAR THERES SEVERAL LIGHTS AMBER COLOR THAT COMES ON OR SUPPOSE TO STAY ON ONE BEING THE A/C SWITCH AND ONE OF THE OTHER BEING THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE VENT CIRCULATION SWITCH. WELL WHEN I CRANK MY CAR UP THERES NO LIGHT FROM EITHER AND WHEN I TRY AND TURN ON THE A/C FROM OFF TO SAY 1 I GET NOTHING UNTIL ABOUT FIFTEEN MIN OR SO INTO THE RIDE. COULD THAT BE ELECTRICAL OR LOW REFRIG????
