I have a 97 Camry with 86,000 miles. My AC works extremely well UNTIL on one of our Las Vegas Hot afternoons like 105 degrees and above. I stop the engine, and go shopping... Return 15 or 20 minutes later and restart the engine. THE AC LIGHT STARTS BLINKING and NO ac cooling.
Continue driving, turn ac off, and in five or ten minutes it will start again - no blinking - and with excellent cooling.
Fluid pressures checked by garage - everthing normal. They say bring it back when it's not working. I haven't been able to correllate the failure with my presence at the garage.... What a pain!
Does anyone have any ideas of were to look for the problem?
