A/C Issue (Perfect Timing for the Summer)
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if any of you ever experienced this issue before.
My AC works perfectly if I store the car in the garage overnight and turn it on right after I turn on the engine. It does not matter if it is 95 F outside, it would be still be cold even after driving it around for one hour and two in the heat.
However, if I park it in the heat, then the AC would only cool down a bit. I suspect this has something to do with a sensor or compressor?
Please let me know if any of you can help before I take it to my indie.

Does anyone know of common issues with the A/C in our cars? I have been hearing a lot more pulley noise from my car and I replaced the supercharger pulley not, but 5k-10k miles ago. I also have a needswings pulley saver kit that's been on for three years. I wonder if those need to be replaced.
I'm hoping if I have a leak it just at the compressor. Does anyone know of any other parts that need to be replaced when the compressor is replaced? Who manufacturers our compressor? Nippon/desno? Anyone got an idea?

I can rebuild the compressor for around $50 and it's looks very simple to do. Replace a few seals and the clutch bearing. I found a blow up diagram of the compressor, a video how to on another compressor, and all the parts. I already rebuilt the power steering pump, so this shouldn't be any harder.
