I should have clarified this...when I'm idling, I can feel and hear the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging every few seconds. and of course the air gets cold and warm simultaneously. When driving, the clutch stays engaged. Even if I hold the accelerator to raise my RPM's while I'm sitting still, it does the same. Any ideas?

Are the cooling fans running, and is the fan shroud in place? If they are, and it’s blowing warm air at idle the system could be low on Freon. If it’s blowing cool air at idle it's probably normal cycling and you just don’t notice it as much while driving. Good luck.

some cars have an economy mode where it will turn the compressor off pending the load on the engine and the rpms. What I've seen happen is sometimes the clutch on the compressor which controls this will get stuck and only really open up on driving range rpms. Your problem may just be as simple as the car idling low. It could also be the belt maybe slipping.

Your AC equipment does have electronics that administration even as it activates or off. The radio replace gained't be a twist of destiny. in case your aftermarket equipment changed into wide adequate to require less than-hood artwork with including new means cables to the battery and so on. you should analyze the realm around the hot wires, make sure that you haven't got stripped, uncovered, loose, or shorting AC wires in the realm. examine your fuses, replace your AC fuse in spite of how curiously. there's a danger it really is in part blown and causing an open even as it heats up. If the air is reliable and chilly even as the AC is operating, you may really a lot rule out a compressor, coolant fee, or AC equipment replace. bypass along with your intestine, it really is likely electric powered.

It is not really turning off. It cycles. You will notice it gets colder and blows harder when you are traveling. The engine controls the a/c. Your rpms on your engine also change in the idle mode.

You pull more fresh air in when you're driving along, so the load to cool that quantity of air is greater, thus your A/C is running more of the time.
