Check AC system for corect amount of refrigerant .I don't know about that make ,and model, but withmost older fords,chevys,GMC,and dodges, the compressor will kick in and out repeatedly when low on refrigerant, i was told that is a safety feature.I have converted my autos to 140A refrigerant which is leagal for someone without lisense to use ,and buy, i have a ford, and a dodge ,GMC,and a pontiac all do this same thing, when enough refrigerant is added they stop kicking in and out and continue to run smoothly. hope this is helpfull

Sounds like the ac compresser is going bad. use a shorter belt to bypass the ac compresser to see if that stops the vibration

I have a 1999 323i BMW. The AC doesnt blow cold (on cool days it blows cool temperature but not common A/C Cold Air, Hot Days it blows Warm/Hot Air). The heater blows warm air but definitely not common...

First things first.....You must have the air conditioning system hooked up to an a/c system machine and then checked for leaks and also read low and high side pressures. If there are leaks then low Freon (R134a) content and low refrigerant oil can cause the a/c system to not engage the a/c compressor which basically means you will not have proper defrost functionality nor regular air conditioning. Most shops, when working with your air conditioning, will install air conditioning dye to assist them in locating leaks and is the first step in diagnosing all a/c systems.

Seems to blow hot and cold air from the a/c, steering is a little tight and car vibrates some, just bought car. it is a kia sedona 2002

These models did have a recall on the rear thermostatic controll valve for the A/C. Have the system checked. The steering, check your powersteering fluid. These are kind of tight to give you a nice car like handling. These are not bad little vans. Have the front wheels balanced (if that is the vibration you are refering to). Let me know what you find and feel free to get back to me.
