So a couple weeks ago I charged my AC system (134a) and it worked fine for a little while. Discovered it was leaking, both refrigerant and oil. Everytime the car sat parked, there would be a little under tennis ball pool of AC oil. So I recharged it today until I can get a new compressor. The problem now is, the compressor seems to just come on sometimes. Ive got the electronic touch climate control and when I hit the "auto" button, the idle rises and the fans start blowing but the compressor will not engage. If I drive around for a while, it might come on, it just seems random. Once it's on, it will stay on as long as I have the system set on "auto". If I turn it off and try to turn it back on though, the compressor will not engage again until it feels like it.....which could be 30 seconds to 15 minutes or not at all.
I have no idea what would cause this problem, the compressor used to engage everytime I would turn the AC on. Is this a relay problem? Bad compressor?
Problem seems like it came out of nowhere.
