HI: My auto a/c problem is described below:.......what is the problem do you think? 2001 nissan Maxima a/c was empty this spring so my mechanic filled it with a can or two of R134 and added some sort of stop leak stuff. HE measured the R134 fluid content so it was the right amount put in....... Now my a/c works in city driving all the time but after driving for about 20 minutes on the highway with a/c on at high.... or low , the smooth running fan starts to make a muffled missing /clicking like sound and the air flow reduces to 5% of normal or less. If I stop and open the hood the frost is caked on the tube very thickly. If I stop the car or turn off the a/c during the highway drive for 5 minutes , the a/c comes back on again when I hit the button, but returns to the above bad performance within 5 minutes or less. We have adjusted downward the amount of R134 fluid in the system several times , still within the recommended levels of the gauge but with no improvements in operation . Also, we have cleaned out a few things in the system. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Thanks, Bob
