A/C problem

[Bear80]

My sister called today and told me she's got some issues with the a/c on her '95. I know that when I rode in it a while back the a/c just didn't seem to blow as cold as my '97. Put the gauges on it and reads fine, I attributed it to the lack of tint on the windows and 100+ texas heat.

Now she said that it doesn't cool for squat and the idle is droping and then coming back up. As far as I know she said she hasn't tried to use it again. My father nor I can look at the cruiser 700 miles away. Any ideas.

I do recall my dad did some washer/spacer mod to keep the engine from reving up during cold starts. This also screwed the idle up as it would always stumble kinda low but with the a/c it would idle back up to 900ish.

Well any ideas......god only knows how mad girls get when they are hot and I feel sorry for those in her path.

Wow, another chick with a cruiser? Why none in Florida?

Thought Texas women were supposed to be sweaty.

lol, I'll tell her that and she can hunt you down. Actually she's in Georgia, guess it's just as hot there.

Mine is doing the same.

Idle changes as A/C compressor engages then cuts out. I think mine is the temp switch, but I won't know until I install the coolant temp gauge, make sure it's below 226, and if so check the temp switch. More this w/e.

Maybe

Just replaced the expansion valve on my 94 was sticking worked fine idiling in the shop with the gauges on take it out for a drive and eventually it would stick and run the head pressure way up which of course affected the idle.
