95 Honda Civic A/C compresser cycling on/off-need help!!!
Hi, I have a 95 civic DX with 120k. I just had the a/c recharged by a
reputable mechanic. The compressor now cycles on/off every 30-45 seconds regardless of outside temp. The condensor fan cycles along with the compressor. The mechanic is very certain that he got the recharge pressures correct. What else would cause this cycling problem. BTW, it is cooling, but about the time it gets nice and cool the compressor cycles off and it warms. Thanks for any info you can give me!! |

I think all air conditioners will 'take a break' to prevent icing. You didn't mention the outside conditions . . ie: humidity / temp. Search in this group for many previous posts on same topic.
