Hey all,
My A/C never worked while in Japan, but it was hardly ever an issue with the climate there. When I came back to the states, however, I got the system recharged and it has been working great ever since (year and a half). Unfortunately, the compressor started to go and finally failed while it was at a toyata shop getting other work done. They replaced the compressor and things have been great so far. Today I was parked at a buddy's house and i started to hear a ticking/clicking noise from the front of the dash. The rpms started to fluctuate and I could hear the compressor turning on and off. I've read that some compressor cycling is normal (?), but the clicking and frequency at which it cycled seemed way off. Once driving the issue went away. The next time I started her up (A/C in the on position) my rpms fluctuated WILDLY from 600-1500 RPM. I revved the gas and cycled the A/C which cleared the problem.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? I live in South Florida, so working air conditioning is a must! Please let me know if you have any advice.
