Hey guys, I am trying to determine a problem with my A/C.
While driving the A/C cools good. Not excellent but it does a pretty decent job. While at idle it hardly cools at all, I have to rev it up. When outside of the car I hear the clutch engaging every 3 seconds.
I bought the car almost 2 yrs ago with 53k on it, I threw a can of DIY freon in it last summer. I assumed now I need a complete evacuate and recharge but the very fast cycling worries me a bit.
I planned to take it in for an A/C system check ($20) and recharge ($90) tomorrow but if there is another problem like a relay or something, I would rather address that problem myself rather than pay someone else to do it.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Also, is it true that you won't lose ANY refrigerant unless have a leak? IE-if your A/C is not cooling you must have a leak 'somewhere'.
