i have noticed my a/c acting up every once in a while over the last couple of days. every once in a while at idle, it sounds like the compressor clutch is engaging and instantly disengaging again. what would cause that? i can't live without a/c. it is 95+ degrees every day here. any suggestions?

So the compressor is cycling a lot? That's a symptom of low freon.
But also could be the clutch cycle switch.
You would need to hookup a pressure gauge to troubleshoot it.

i found out the problem. it was wire insulation on the wires running to the compressor. one was torn and it was grounding out.

i dont know all the technical terms.... but i wonder if you are describing what my ac does. like every 60 seconds , it hisses. yup, thats the best way i can describe it.
is that the problem?
or is this even something i should consider a problem?

if the AC is blowing cold then it should be working fine

The hissing is normal. It's worse if you have an AEM or Injen CAI.

Sorta, it could still be low on refrigerant. (especially if it cycles alot)

Hissing is normal

mine was engaging the clutch every 1 or 2 seconds. on...off...on...off.
