hey guys
Recently my dad bought a 1999 honda accord the A/C works fine first time you turn it on. Runs for 10 min then stops cooling. I got it checked out. There were no leaks in the system. The mechanic's guess was, compressor doesn't turn on when it is hot. He gave me an estimate of $1100 to replace the compressor, receiver dryer, evacuate, recharge etc. Is this the only way to fix the problem? Could it be something else that causes compressor to stop when it is hot? I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me out.
