AC Refresh Needed
About 3 years ago I had the AC rebuilt. Replaced the compressor, accumulator, orfice, and charged it with Freeze 12. It worked good but last year when I started to drive it during the summer(stayed garaged through winter) I turned on the AC and it was cycling. Topped it off with a can of freeze 12 and it was good again. Samething this year, it was garaged all winter and I just started driving it again and the Compresssor cylces every 2 seconds. Should I just fill it back up with freeze 12 or what?

Re: AC Refresh Needed
Sounds like you have a leak somewhere. I would charge it back up and put some dye in the system. Run it for a while and look to see if you can find the dye leaking out somewhere. Could be something as simple as an o-ring.

You can buy leak dye with special (yellow) glasses that make finding the leak easier.
