Re: ac compressor cycles off upon acceleration
make sure your pressures are correct first off. ac systems are only rated to cool 20 degrees lower than the ambient temp. If you take it to a shop, they are going to drive it in the shop, put a thermometer in the vent, turn the ac on full blast recirc, check the temp, if its not 20 below outside temp, they will put the recovery machine on it, check the pressures, recover the freon, put a vacuum on it to see if there is a leak. if it hold vacuum, they will recharge it with the correct amount og freon, put dye in the oil, and put a light on it to find a leak. otherwise your going to start paying labor as they troubleshoot things like clogged lines, bad compressor, bad receiver dryer, etc. check the temp that its blowing now and then tomarrow when its hot out.

you are low on freon. hook a gauge to it and rev it very slowly. when the pressure gets below 30lbs(low side) or so its designed to cut out.

if your a/c system is running at 190 on the high side, you may have to much freon in it the system or your condensor fan is not coming on and building up to much pressure. The high side should read double the temp out side. example if it is 80 degrees outside, then the high side would read 160 and the low can be anywhere from 25-35 . hope this helps
