Okay, I couldn't get any help on my earlier A/C symptoms (usually only
gives cold air for the first mile after starting a cold engine, then
switches to "street" air).

It's looking a bit different now. All last week, I ran the A/C as much as
possible, and 90% of the time it froze me out! I can live with that. But
then it ocurred to me that the weather was rather average spring-like
temperatures, probably never more than the low 60s. Over this weekend,
another thousand miles on the odo. Saturday, outside temps in the low
70s, no A/C except for the first mile. Sunday, temps in the low 80s, and
tons of real, regulation A/C for the first four hours of driving, then
just street air for the remaining four hours (outside temps probably
worked their way down below 70 by the time I got home).

So - I can usually have air conditioning on cool days, and may or may not
have air conditioning on warmer days.

Any ideas, what the heck is going on?
