I started to have problems with the a/c. It did not work so I took it to the local shop and they replaced a relay and reseviced the unit. It works but now it will stop putting out cold air for about 10 minutes then go back to working again. Went back to the shop, they checked it but could not find anything wrong with it. They said it was a little low so they serviced it. After driving it again the problem came back,cycling off then back on . What could the problem be?

make sure there are no leaks

Could be condenser icing up (compressor clutch will stay engaged continuously).

You could also have an intermittent electrical problem in the compressor clutch solenoid circuit. My '97 Civic clutch coil is intermittent, and stops working when it gets hot. Once it cools down, it works again for awhile.

I seem to have this exact problem with my 2001 Ody too. Is there a way for a weekend mechanic to check this "compressor clutch solenoid circuit"??
