my air conditioner works decent (froze me out on 65 degrees at a little over 75 degrees outside), but it WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY if it is sitting. after about 20 seconds, it makes a screaming sound, as if the compressor was locking up. it also shoots oil out of the compressor (out of the thing that looks like a pressure relief;if looking straight at the ac compressor from the front, the valve points at about 10:00ish), which hits the air intake tube and drips onto the motor. Its soo bad that the first time i heard it, i felt my heart go into my throat, and I ran and dove thru the open window to shut the car off.
my hypothesis is that for some reason, it overheats without air passing over the ac coils in front of the radiator. anyone else have this prob or any input? thanks guys.
