Re: Ive a problem with the a/c on my 98 chevy lumina
I have a '97 with 140,000 miles and it blows ice all summer, all conditions...so it's not the design, there is something wrong.
You'll have to get some pressure readings...unfortunately I don't recall what's normal in a 134a system at different ambient temps. If the high or low pressure limit switch is going bad, it may be cutting the compressor just from the normal rise in pressure when airflow decreases.
The compressor could be worn out and not able to develop enough suction/pressure at low rpm. You can see this in the readings when the pressure readings "chatter" at low rpm and are out of spec, but come up and smooth out when you raise the rpm...
Ever watch the compressor clutch, see if it slips/stops, etc? sometimes they can be worn and/or packed with oil and crud from a leaky motor and won't hold when the motor is idling...you can see the clutch slowing and even stopping momentarily at idle...
