Subject:weird AC behavior
From:dave bowers
Date:Sun, 1 Sep 2002 18:06:32 -0700

Hey Folks,

I am looking for theories on what my AC may be doing.. I have a 1986 Westy,
with the AC in the rear.

A week ago, I drove 200 miles, from Eastern Oregon to Portland. It was hot
all day, and I drove with my AC on most of the time.

Around 3/4 of the way through my trip, my AC went warm. No more cold air. I
looked for moisture or leaks and couldn't spot any. I checked the AC once a
day for 3 days. Each time, it blew warm (or, just not cold).

Yesterday I turned my AC fan on just to get some circulation, not expecting
cold air ... and within 3 minutes .. I had cold air again. I can't tell if
it was as cold as it used to be ... I just had it recharged in June.

Would anyone have an idea of what I should look at with this behavior?

I can't tell if it has ... fixed it's self, or if I should have this looked
at closer. It's nearing the end of the warm season .. so I don't want to
spend much on this. I'm happy it's working, but I wonder if it's only half
fixed.

Any ideas, suggestions or theories would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much!

dave :)
