Re: R4 compressor NEVER cycles

As I have stated earlier, not so much concerned about the freezing up issue as I am about the clutch not cycling. I only mentioned the freezing up part because after an hour drive the interior a/c case starts to sweat. Clutch cycling properly don't have be concerned about possible freezing up, conde...

Re: R4 compressor NEVER cycles

The evap freezing up is a symptom of the clutch not cycling. I'm not 100% sure it is freezing up, just a guess. Fix the clutch cycling issue and don't have to be concerned about evap freezing, if in fact that is what is happening.

Re: R4 compressor NEVER cycles

When I acquired this vehicle 4 years ago, it had the original foam fitted cover on the accumulator. The a/c worked fine when I got it, except I noticed the clutch never cycled then as well. That original R4 eventually developed a leak 2 yrs later and had to be replaced. Replaced compressor, and accu...

Re: R4 compressor NEVER cycles

@bohica2xo. " If you pull the connector off of the cycling switch, does the compressor stop?" Yes it does. Plug connector back in, clutch engages compressor.

Re: R4 compressor NEVER cycles

First off, I live in Central Texas, it's end of May and it's 90 degrees by 11am. This is the description that GM states for a 1995 Suburban: "The A/C system is a Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube (CCOT) type with a fixed displacement compressor and pressure cycling switch to control evaporator temper...

R4 compressor NEVER cycles

I have a 1995 Suburban in excellent condition. A/c system cools well BUT, the compressor clutch never cycles. I mean NEVER. Driving around under 30 minutes I can see 40 degrees out of dash vents on a 90 degree day. But, on a longer drive I believe the front evaporator starts to ice up. I will start ...
