A/C Working on and off

1993 Honda Civic LX Automatic Mileage 135000. My A/C cools off when I start the car in the morning. But when you get on the road for like a few minutes, it stops cooling off. You would have to turn the A/C switch off for like for a long time and then then turn back on, so it would cool off again.

What might be the cause of it? and approximately, how much does it cost to fix it?

thank you

Do you have an R-12 or R-134A system.

If you are low on charge sometimes the system will freeze and it will have to thaw out before it will cool again. Check out your refigerant charge, it's probably low. losone
