Re: A/C Odd Problem! 3800 V6
A/C intermittents can sometimes be traced to a compressor clutch air gap that is worn too wide- look at front of compressor- is gap between driver and pulley more tha .050" Two or three business cards slip into it-- if so that is probably what is wrong.
Next time a/c is inop- strike the front of the compressor with a blunt object- (or hit a bump- or slam the hood) - see if air starts working....and report back.
