In this 110 degree weather.. i need some help. I have a 94 ford ranger. The a/c blows warm air. When the car is on and the a/c is on.. I noticed the compressor cycles on and off. I checked the refrigerant level with a a/c gauge and it reads full. Cant figure out whats going on. HELP !! hehe

Check and see if the heater valve may be stuck open allowing heat to blow into the cabin.

You are low on freon. I repaired a van today that ran the compressor and had beautiful looking pressure 200/36. Only had half a pound of freon in a 4 pound system. You cannot rely on guages like you used to. The controls, compressors and expansion systems are not classic refrigeration. Some compressors are variable displacement, orifice tubes are cheap subtitutes for expansion valves. Sometimes, fans dont come on until high pressure trips them and that will raise pressures in a low system making them look "good". Recover the freon, evacuate it for 3 minute and recharge it. If you don't have a recovery station, you shouldn't be doing this anyway. If not, take it to a certified repair shop.

If it is blowing you do not have a fan problem. If you have checked the refrigerant level and it is ok, you do not have a refrigerant problem. Only one thing left... compressor is toast.

CowboyBill I think nailed it,assuming your low side or large line (evaporator) line is cold.
