I'm looking to improve my A/C performance at idle. My system has been filled with r134 for 2+ years now and and works good except at idle. If you sit at idle the air is midly cool (probably ~ 75*) and with no tint and black leather in FL = fail, hahah (I will get tint eventually, just been lazy, lol).
After a bit of a drive (15-20 minutes to warm everything up), if you sit at idle for a few minutes (5 or so), the A/C will actually turn its self off. I assume its the pressures are going to high or something and flipping it off. I think its due to a lack of flow across the condenser, but I have all the factory ducting, and good condition fan shroud and all with a very tight clutch fan. I don't think its the coolant temp switch but will eliminate it this weekend (bypass it) just to be sure.
I will investigate this more this weekend, but has anyone had a similar issue and if so how did you fix it?
The R134 works great when reving or moving, with vent temps probably around 50* or so, just idle sucks balls.
