Ac won't stay on :(
I am having a problem with my ac. When I'm driving the ac stay on and blows ice cold, but when I come to a stop the qc goes warm and sounds like the compressor turns off and back on over and over and the car wants to stall out. I am having 2 codes po107 and po171 could those be the problem with the ac problem?
I'm thinking it's all related. First thing is to identify which car you have? 2000-2004 1.9L or 2004.5-up 2.4L or 2.5L S40?
On the 1.9L engines the P0107 code is the MAP sensor on the intake manifold. Not the one on the air-air heat exchanger (up by radiator) but the one attached to the intake manifold. The P0171 is probably a result of the MAP being off and giving the engine incorrect information. The a/c compressor cycling on and off could be the car's computer reaction to a low idle speed. Personally I'd get the MAP fixed first, clear the codes and see if they come back. My .02

I Have the same problem, 2004 Volvo S40 1.9 turbo. the A/C turns off when the car get hot, the level of the temp gauge is more than middle, I change the thermostat, radiator, check hoses and water pump and everything looks OK. But the car runs for 10 minutes and get hot and turns off the A/C. I check the piston compression and looks fine. No codes, only the temp sensor and I put a new one. I don't find a temp sensor that have in the center console, that the only thing I don't change. But the car steel getting hot after 10 min. and turn off the A/C. I don't know what to do. Need urgent help.
