AC Intermittant

My AC works well until I have to accelerate. Then it cuts off and does not come back on. The fan still blows, but the air is not cold. I understand that it's supposed to cutout on acceleration, but why would it not come back on?

Thanks

Thank you both for your replies and advice. :thumbsup: I believe you're right about the slipping belt because I've noticed a slight chirp during gear changes with the AC on that doesn't happen with it off. I will replace the belt this weekend.

^^^ Pretty much exactly what is happening with my 400E right now: AC goes on/off, chirp when changing gears etc.

PLUS, I can lift the belt off the pulley without much force at all. I'll try to see if I can tighten it (mine has the manual tensioner), but most likely I need the whole tensioner assembly.
