My air conditioner was working fine until one day it wasn't blowing cold air out when the AC was on and the outside temperature ranged from 90-105. It turned out that AC refrigerant levels were low; therefore a recharge was necessary. I had a family member do the recharge and they an entire cannister of refrigerant. The AC began hissing whenever I turned it on and I ignored it for a few weeks. After a few weeks, the AC compressor kept cycling on and off multiple times. It would try to cycle, but could not. I took it to an air conditioning shop and they evacuated and recharged the refrigerant for me. The AC compressor was able to cycle, but now whenever I exceed 2000 rpm, the compressor shuts off. When I am at a red light, the compressor successfully cycles on. Prior to this, I had no problem with the compressor whenever the AC was on, but I think that prolonged damage might have happened when there was too much refrigerant and I am just wondering what I should do now to fix the issue of the car not being able to cycle normally like it did a few years ago. The AC compressor stayed on even when my RPMs reached 4000 or 5000 rpm.
Thank you!
