The vehicle sat for 1 year. I then puleed it out, washed it, and vioa-la, problems...LOL

Basically when I turn the A/C on, it doesn't turn right on. It typically takes 15-60sec to turn on then it cycles on and off randomly. As soon as I give it gas it shuts off(sometimes) and then I can hold speed/throttle and it will just turn back on. So imagine crusing down the freeway and having your A/C blow cold...then warm...then cold....then warm. All while staying the same spped. Yes it's full, I checked that. Pressure is perfect. What electronically would make this happen? Anything? Is the condenser just going out? Anything can help at this point, especially if someone knows the answer. Please ask anything you need to, to help me out

Thanks

Sounds like maybe your A/C compressor clutch might be bad. Have you watched it to see if it turns off or on while the A/C is on?

Yes I watch it, and it seems to cycle on and off just idleing. Is that an indicator the compressor is bad? What can be done, if anything, to fix it?
