Seems more likely to quit when it idles for a while or if the rpms go too high to pass someone. then it wont work till engine cools off. worked fine in spring but hoy weather made it mess up every time
Have an AC repair shop hook up a set of AC pressure gauges while this is happening to see what is going on. You could have a defective AC compressor or a low refrigerant charge in the system. And as to the hot weather causing it to act up that would be normal, the AC would cool fine the cooler the outside air is, problems like worn out compressors and low system refrigerant charge levels would only show there ugly head in hot weather conditions. Also make sure the cooling fans fo rthe AC and engine are working properly. Good luck with this.
You'll have to be able to duplicate the problem to find it.
If it will quit working after idleing for a period of time, a mechanic would check for voltage to the compressor at the relay and the compressor clutch, then go from there.

you need to look for a vacume leak thsi would also make your IAC valve go beyond range.good luck

Odometer is turned by a mechanical gear wheel, which is the likely culprit.
SOURCE: cooling system fans quit working and it over eats now
check the sending unit near the out put hose for the radiator on the head one wire or two will go to it. it screws in to the head. or check the relay under the hood in the fuse box.
SOURCE: CAR HAS NO AC AND WILL OVERHEAT
Definitely get the fan problem fixed. I had an older Saturn, and it would do that periodically. It turned out I had a bad battery terminal, it would short out from time to time, and if it did so while I was driving, the fan would cut out and therefore not cool the engine. While I was driving it was usually ok, because air could flow, but in traffic, or stopped, it would get pretty hot. I found that turning the heat on and letting it blow full blast would help it stay a little cooler, it'll just cook you inside the car.

The first thing I would do is check to see if a fuse is blown or bad relay. Then I would unplug the blower motor with a test light make sure you are getting power to the blower located on the far passenger side of the vehicle under the dash if it has power and good ground then suspect vaulty motor. If you are not getting power at the plug then you might have a bad switch or resister. If it does have a blown fuse remember they usually blow for a reason like faulty wiring or even a in the motor itself. I would also recommend that you change the ac cabin filters behind the glove box if they have not been changed most people neglect them on that vehicle because they are a little more difficult to change, after removing the glove box there is a metal bracket in the way of opening the cabin filter compartment. They wont cause a blower motor to not work, however they do restrict airflow to the evaporator and they protect you from pollen, dust, and even exhaust gases. Hope this helps.
an error code. Then the odometer lights will flash, a bunch of error codes flash. Let it finish.219 views
