A/C Kinda works...

I am stumped... When the car is first turned on, or sits at idle for more than a few seconds the compressor does not come on... I have to rev the engine about 3k or drive till it goes above 3k then the compressor will come on and cold air will come out...

Any A/C guys out there know what to look for?? Realy?? Wiring??

Thanks for the info..

P.S. Sorry this is not on my Camaro, but the wife's '95 Sunfire.. The J-Body guys were no help so I had to turn somewhere....

well the point if having a good a/c system is that you dont want the compressor cycling on and off, so the least cycling the longer the compressor will last.

my r12 was low in my a/c system and the compressor would cycle on and off every few seconds, after i put another can in the cycling basically stopped meaning that the system was full...
