Default Problem with A/C

I have a 1993 850 GLT with the auto air control, and the A/C works fine but when I floor it the A/C cuts out as expected, but doesn't come back on right away. It will cut in and out after that until I restart the car. By cut in and out I don't mean the blower, the air is still blowing fine it's just the compressor isn't coming on. I'm thinking it's some sort of sensor as the A/C will work fine at freeway speeds or when I baby the car and don't floor it at all. Any information would be appreciated.

Default RE: Problem with A/C

After you floor it and it shuts off try checking for power at the compressor. If you have power and the compressor isn't running then it needs to be reshimmed.
