sometimes my car AC stops working. The next day, it's working. Sometime it does, sometime it doesn't. What could be the problem? anything major fault with the compressor?

Do you have dial set all way into blue area (it acts like a thermostat)? If so then guess is too low or too high pressure (i.e. too much or too little Freon --- or the expansion valve is cloughed. You didn't say year but 93-? has a SCP 01 on the expansion valve cloughing -- check

under tsb/recalls to see if it covers your year.

The next time it stops working look at the little green light on the AC button. If it is flashing it may mean that the belt has slipped. I have had mine slip when going through a puddle of water and this throws an error code in the ECU. If this is the case if you depress the button off then back on it should run normally. Also as mentioned above there is a pressure switch in the line if your freon pressure is on the edge of being low it could cause these symptoms also.
