    I need some under the hood help

    Great advice toytech76. This is my approach; first thing I buy when I get a car is a factory service manual, I mean FACTORY not the aftermarket stuff. When problem arise, I investigate to determine if it's something I am comfortable fixing or I should take it to a mechanic. If one is do-it...

    Sorry for so many ?'s and not many answers

    since you said the a/c blows cold air, I don't think you're low on refrigerant. if it was, you wouldn't get cold air. i'm thinking electrical; something is causing the magnetic clutch to turn on/off rapidly. maybe the clutch itself is bad. I don't know.
