Hi – I have a 21 Tacoma and the ac cycles every 15 seconds or so oscillating between cold / cool(warm) …the blender gates all work and 1234 was just added. No leaks in the system. The drivers side oscillates by ten edgreee of cold at 45 degrees a goes back up to 50-60 degrees. The passenger side dies the same but the Temperature is much higher and not cold…roughly by 15 degrees. Does this seem like an issue with the valve?

In reply to Thomas Manning. Sounds like the A/C clutch may be unable to disengage for some reason, but I'm not sure if it's an electrical or mechanical issue. Make sure the HVAC is not in "defrost" mode. Many HVAC systems will run the compressor in defrost mode even when the A/C button is off. This is true even if you ask for heat instead of cold air.

AC compressor always stays on. Freon is at recommended amount as well as PAG oil. Coil only gets slightly cold (50deg F.) . Compressor is new and system has the same problem as when I had the old compressor. I have a new expansion valve. Pipes were clear before I reassembled. It’s an old Chevy Beretta.

In reply to Richard. With the hood popped, turn on the A/C and rev the engine a bit (maybe in the ballpark of 3-4,000 RPM). Does the A/C clutch continue spinning, or does it disengage at higher RPMs?

In reply to Eduardo Maldonado. I’d recommend taking it to the Honda dealership for a diagnostic. They specialize in the vehicle make as I had the same problem with my 2012 Civic. The Ac system is very complex and contains many parts to keep your ac blowing cold, the dealership can pinpoint exactly your issue. Don’t do like I did and do a bunch of guess work and ended up spending over $2000 without it being fixed, only to find out I only had to spend $300 to fix the issue. Take it to the dealership for at-least a diagnostic, then you can take it to ANY mechanic shop to fix the problem once u know the issue. It’s worth it. Trust me.
