Default Weird idle/clicking.. read on

While IM driving with the ac on every once in a while I will hear a click like a relay turning on or off. And at the same time if feels like my A/C clutch engages/disengages.. anyone hear/have this happen??

while driving.. like.. not cruising, but accelerating and it will click disengage and engine power frees up, sometimes the other way (engages engine power lowers)

that happens with yours too?

If you floor it the car turns A/C off for more power for passing.

I believe that is a sign of the freon getting low. I just had this happen and the freon was low. I filled it and the compressor stays on. If it gets too low it won't even turn on. Is the a/c cold?

That is normal.The reason it cycles is couse if it didnt every thing would freeze.It has to maintaine a certain temp.(for you inside the car and for the pump,lines,ect.)All 3 of my cars do that.........and so does my refrigirator...LOL!
