I have 98 Honda Accord 2dr 5spd. I start the car up and it runs fine. The AC is cold at this point. After the car heats up is sounds and feels like the AC compressor kicks on and off. At this point i thought "not enough 134a" so i went out and bought some. When i was putting the coolant into the car, the compressor started kicking on and off again...and the car was not taking any coolant. I walked to the side of the car to see if i could feel the AC and the air was warm. When the car is idleing normally i can hear my air intake. But when everything changes (as in the AC compressor kicking off) i cant hear the intake as well. Also, when all this happens my two fans behind the radiator come on. The thing is the motor temp is normal. The car isnt overheating. I'm wondering if fixing this would be as simple as resetting the ecu or if i need to just take it to a mechanic. I'm not sure if my problem has anything to do with the AC compressor, but it is the first thing I noticed when i noticed something was wrong. That is why i keep referring back to the compressor. Obviously being able to see whats happening is easier than me explaining it, so i will try to get a video up. But, i'm not sure if i'll be able to. Thanks for your time and your possible suggestions.

help? Anyone? Ideas?

your a/c system is supposed click "on and off." the compressor won't run continuously, otherwise the system would blow up.

your water temp is fine. the a/c is fine - you wrote that it is "cold at this point." sounds like the fan on your condensor is fine. why do you think you have a problem?

everything clicks on and off quickly, and alot. The air the AC puts out is warm once all this starts happening.

Might be the clutch on the compressor. I'd get it checked at the shop.

over charge will cause same problem need to have the pressures checked

I have a buddy that does a/c on the side, he can take a look at it if you want. He has all the gear, if you want his number pm me.

Could the tempature switch be connected in with it?

I dunno, but it does seem like its having a problem with temperature. Well, atleast that what i assume it means when the fans keep kicking on and off.
