ironmanco Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 My 1995 Subaru seems to only be pushing cold air when the engine is going well above idle. Can someone explain to me what limiting aspect the system would have to not run the compressor unless the car is under load? I did ensure that the system is well charged and when under load (>30mph) I do get cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Sounds pretty typical for an undercharged system. You should probably have that checked again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's probably not the load, it's the rpm. Low on refrigerant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Charge is too low, or the radiator fans are not running when the AC is on. More than likely it's because the charge is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Check refrigerant charge and it also often helps to pull a spacer washer out of the compressor clutch to account for wear. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
