Air Conditioner..

When I turn on the Engine Air it kicks on but then kicks off in a few seconds and repeats this over and over blowing warm air. Does anybody know what the problem could be.

    Could be low freon. There is a switch that will cut out the AC Clutch if freon is low to prevent burning up the compressor. Or a bad AC Clutch.

    Two guesses .. This is #1,, in fact.. Story (Short) follows.

    #2, does the dash blower kick in and out or just the compressor?
    Dash blower it could be a self resetting circuit breaker (Again longer story, much shortened follows)

    Short #1.. Mine was blowing only cool, not cold (outside near as I can tell) added 12 OZ 134A today and the thermometer took a dive right down to where I think it should live.

    Short 2: Had serious issues with a bad breaker two summers ago, Saved much money on haircuts finding it (Pulling hair out) Finally got lucky. (or skillful) major screwups in that physical area of House. (They hooked it to the wrong fuse)
