On my 97 v6, I am noticing that my AC seems to be cycling on and off every ten seconds. I thought it might need to be topped off, but am bnow curious as to why this is doing it.

As I drive at 55 I can feel it in the gas pedal when it cycles on and off. The car seems to jump a bit when it cycles off then slow when it kicks in again in about ten to fifteen seconds...

What could be causing this symptom? I mean when its on for the fifteen seconds its ICE cold?

Thanks
