Hi All - been a while since I posted here. Greetings again.
My 99 SVT has AC problems, and this is not a good time to have them here in Alabammy where it's 105 in the shade!
Basically, the system has been charged with 3 cans of R134 refrigerant (55psi), and the compressor "short cycles" when the engine is first started. This is accompanied by some noise and what appears to be a lot of stress on the engine belt - this latter phenomenon just started occurring, and concerns me most.
Once it has run for a few minutes, the compressor remains engaged, but does not blow cold air. The refrigerant lines are "slightly cool", but not what I would expect.
Suggestions welcome.
