Weird idle/clicking.. read on
 
well today I notied something weird.

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??

Yeah I beleive your exacly right about your ac clutch engaging and disengaging. Thats what your hearing. My car does it too. It's normal.

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.

another thing I noticed.. im idling, A/c on. and it cycles, every 10 seconds it goes off then 10 more and comes back on.. constantly, and im not pressing the button.. normal aswell?

im thinking this may have something to do w/ my idle problems.. eacv.. :/

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!
