    Search down on this page -- there are about 5 air conditioning threads.
    Most common problem is slow leaking refrigerant.

    Have you checked if there is enough or too much refridgerant in the system yet? It's a pretty simple procedure, you'll need an A/C pressure gauge and adapter hose. The A/C valve is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment. The cap is black and is labelled 6 nM max.

    Not sure how to check if your compressor is malfunctioning.
