My a/c works intermittently during the day but always cools at night. The engine fan is now running faster than before and continues to run 4-5 seconds after engines is turned off. The freon is at the correct pressure.

Hello,

I have seen this problem before what happens is the compressor clutch coil gets hot and stops working you will need to replace the compressor here is a guide with diagrams below to show you on your car.

You will need to vacuum and recharge the system.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
