Title: 2014 Honda Accord Sport A/C works on cold start, stops when engine gets hot
Hi everyone,
I’m having an A/C issue with my 2014 Honda Accord Sport 2.4L and would appreciate any advice.
The A/C blows ice cold when I first start the car. It works perfectly for about 5–10 minutes, but once the engine gets up to normal operating temperature, the compressor stops engaging and the air becomes warm.
Here are the details:
A/C works normally on a cold start.
Compressor stops engaging after 5–10 minutes.
The A/C button light stays ON.
Radiator/cooling fans continue running.
No check engine light or fault codes.
If I shut the car off and let it cool for 15–30 minutes, the A/C works again.
Sometimes revving the engine will make the compressor engage again, but most of the time it won’t.
The condenser was recently replaced, and the refrigerant charge has been confirmed to be correct.
Does this sound more like:
A failing compressor clutch coil?
A worn clutch air gap?
A bad pressure switch?
Or an internal compressor issue?
