When i turn on my a/c sometimes it works for a few minutes then stops blowing cold air. other times it just doesn't work at all. the other day i noticed that when i turned the a/c on the clutch engages and disengages, the relay also made a click sound evertime in would disengage. when i tried it the agian yesterday the clutch wouldn't even engage at all. the heater works. what could be causing this to happen

Low freon level have it checked. Has system been coverted from R12 to R143? If not hang on to your hat because R 12 is very pricey and maybe hadr to find.
Good luck

If it has been converted to R134 there is usually a tag underhood advising of the change. The other way is look at the fill ports if they look like a tire schrader vave then R12 if bigger and no threads then R134. You can get a refill kit at a parts store for r134.
