91 Mustang LX (5.0) Air Conditioner Not Working

** Help, my air conditioner is not operating normally. Here are the ** symptoms... ** ** 1. Last Sunday 11 April, it worked intermittently (system would blow cold ** air for a while then it would warm up, then it would cool off again). I ** checked under the hood, and the compressor was running without cycling on & ** off. Also last summer, I had system checked out and it needed approximately ** one pound of Freon. ** ** 2. Today (15 April) I tried running the AC again, but the system only blew ** ambient temperature air. I checked under the hood, this time the compressor ** was not running. ** ** I'm thinking the system has a serious leak & is empty. Any AC smart guys ** have any Ideas or suggestions? I'm located in the Florida panhandle and ** summer is fast approaching. Thanks in advance. ** ** Thomas **

You're probably short-cycling; that is, without enough refrigerant in the system, it cycles on/off and then eventually just off. If you're going through that much refrigerant, you probably have a leak in the system that needs to be repaired before refilling again. See a qualified A/C technician for help.

Thanks JD, I suspected as much, I'll try and have it looked at very soon.
