My 1994 Civic A/C was never good, but the last couple of years have been especially bad. I've now paid about $100 and gotten nowhere. It tends to cycle very frequently when the temp is above 90F, about every 3-5 seconds. I've had the freon checked, the compressor checked, the pulley cleaned, and the belt checked, to no avail.

I think we had only one 100+ day, as opposed to the 10 or more more summers. That darn global warming (oops...or is that cooling?) has got us again :-). Nate |

Well, I suppose something is better than nothing. The compressor in my
last car seized at the start of a summer, and I made it through one and a half summers without it before getting the Civic. It may not give me the icy wind I long for, but it does make the cabin a lot more comfortable than it otherwise would be. Hope you find a way to increase the efficiency of yours.
