The AC compressor clutch engages and ice cold air come out of the vents after we purchased an AC Pro recharge kit and added a bit of refrigerant, but it did not last.
The issue seems to be heat related because if we use the AC at night it will consistently blow cold air for as long as we want. During the day is a different story as the compressor clutch will disengage after about ten to fifteen minutes and only hot air comes out of the vents. We have taken the car on a ride on the freeway and stayed in the driveway both with the same results after ten to fifteen minutes of running the car with the AC on.
I am not sure if the system is overcharged and when the system heats up it trips a pressure sensor and shuts down the clutch on the compressor or if there is something else going on?
