During the CV 19 lockdowns I had a new compressor fitted and the system obviously regassed. Been running for a while over summer. The A/C system works fine below 100-105 kmh but cuts in and out at 115kmh- then returns to normal operation when the speed drops to 105 kmh.
I suspect the ECU is cutting it in and out too early. My 1990 Gregory's Engine Management manual says for a VN the ECU should cut out the compressor above 98% throttle and above 5800 rpm. Mine,s cutting out the compressor well below these two parameters.
Anyone know of any sensors I should check that would cause the ECU to cut out the A/C compressor at low engine power settings?
Was it behaving this way with last compressor?
TPS and vacuum sensor would relate to ECU detection of full throttle or high revolution I'm thinking.
Also check for possible belt slippageat high revs which can be hard to detect, often happens due to seep from power steering pump front seal.
But try to remember performance with previous compressor.
