Air Conditioner works intermittently

98 Chevy Blazer, V6 Vortex 4x4 automatic. A/C compressor blew 2 years ago, replaced it and orifice tube has worked fine since until now. It works intermittent, which means you may start it up and it works fine for 20-30 minutes then stops blowing cold air. The compressor clutch releases before this happens, and it might just start blowing cold air again and when checked, the compressor clutch is kicked in and everything seems normal, only to stop blowing cold air agin later. When it works it works really good. Any ideas on this one? Thanks.

    I forgot to mention this is an S10 Blazer, would that make any difference as to the relay locations? I can't find a glove box panel as described.

It could be your low pressure cycle switch is going bad. Check the connection to the switch and it's is located on the A/C Accumulator. The other thing to check is the A/C relay and that is located in the glove box. There is a panel in the glove box that say's relay, there is three relays in there and one of the out side relay's out of the three is the A/C. can not remember which one it is. The middle relay is the fuel pump and the other one is the third break light. Switch the two out side relays and see if your A/C get's better. the other thing too is if the R134a is just a little low, and needs to be topped off. Good luck and hope this helps. if your going to try to recharge the A/C system your self, keep in mind not to over charge.

Where is the inline air conditioner filter located

What you are referencing is probably the orifice tube + a screen.
There are many things that can change the air temperature inside the car.
1. Inside AC/HEATER duct under the dash, the temperature door can be open a bit and let the warm air mix with cold air temperature.
2.The purpose of the orifice tube, that is between the high pressure and low-pressure tube you can feel with your hands the cold and warm tube
The screen is blocking particles of metal from A/C compressor if the compressor is defect.

high-pressure side is HOT
low-pressure side is COLD
3. A/C compressor clutch could slip more than it should. The air gap has too much clearance.
The location of the orifice tube is :

What do I have to do to change the a/c compressor are there any special procedures or can I take the old one off put the new one on and then charge the system with coolant I have a 1996 oldsmobile delta...

if old compressor fail your air condition has to be discharge at dealership or a garage that does ac repair.then the ac lines has to be flushed out before putting on new one. because old one when it fails clutch lock up or compressor fail.small metal particles get in line.stop up orifice tube.you will have to replace orifice tube the accumalator .you will need vacuum pump to pump down air conditioner .to get moisture out of system.you will need a manifold gauge set for air conditioner.ac tools are expensive.it would be cheaper to buy compressor - accumulator - orifice tube. take it to a good air conditioner mechanics.let him put parts on and pump down system.then charge it up.because buying tools to get ac going .is going to cost $475.00 thats the vacuum pump price.you can buy a cheaper vacuum pump that works from air from a regular air compressor you pump tires up with.manifold gauge set causes from $100.00 up to $300.00 for a good set.another thing you have to be familiar with working on air conditioners you put too much R-134 in system you will damage compressor or get seriously hurt.
