Need to do a little troubleshooting here. Run van until fan goes to high speed. Unplug Radiator fan switch. If fan keeps running and compressor is cut out, than problem is with the AC. May be overcharged, back expansion valve, receiver drier, or other blockage in system. Hope this helps, Dennis

When the outside air temp is below 80 degrees I don't have a problem with the constant cycling on and off of the high speed fan vs. the compressor. With that info, would "high pressure" still be the cause of the cycling? I had the A/C converted to R-134 last summer. IIRC, it did this before I had it converted too. I did replace the radiator temp sensor a few years back. I wonder if it's the wrong one? Does anyone know the correct part number for an '88 with A/C and automatic? TIA Jim |
