1998 clk 200 ac issue... need help

My car was perfectly fine until the blower motor got short circuited after a car wash.... I replaced them...in the next week ac compressor was gone... did replace also... since last couple of days, the ac is not blowing cold air after the initial ignition.... later on when it rev up the car to redline 2-3 times..... the ac is back to normal and the best. then I don't have rev up or anything else to keep it going normal and cold.

This has to be done each time when I start the car....

Please help in troubleshooting this issue

It will be helpful if you pull the error codes and the other readings from the climate control. If you google it you will find out how to do this better than I can explain it, there are some videos on YouTube as well. It is much easier to trouble shoot then.

Sounds to me like you compressor's not pumping gas round until you give it some revs, as though the clutch on it is not gripping properly or you aux belt is slipping. Also, was it regassed to the right level after you swapped the compressor?
