Since its already time for gas-up, I drop by a gas station, shutdown the engine and have a gas refill. After which, when I left the gas station I tried to turn the A/C ON again and the cooling was back.
The 2nd time was just this afternoon. I was stuck in a slow moving traffic and after five minutes the aircon cooling was gone again. I have noticed also an increase in the idling speed reach up to 2k RPM but sometimes fluctuates. When I push-off the A/C switch with the car on halt, the idling RPM goes back to normal level. The same things happened as mentioned above- after the car rested for several minutes with engine and A/C off, the cooling went back to normal when I restarted the car.
Is there something like Thermal Overload or protection for the aircon? Kasi na notice ko pag naka takbo ang car at normal running speed (no traffic) ok naman function ng AC. May this due to better cooling sa engine radiator and a/c condenser fins dahil malakas ang hangin pumapasok engine compartment pag normal ang takbo ng car.
Sa mga expert sa aircon, please help naman....
What seem to be the problem? Marumi na ba ang AC system, or is there a defective on the compressor's associated parts, or the cooling fans ba not working kaya nag shut-off pag matagal naka hinto or stuck sa traffic?
