A/C Quits When Car Stops 850 1994

Hello. I have a '94 850 Turbo Sedan. I live in the Southern part of the U.S. where it gets quite hot. The air conditioning system has started failing after the vehicle has run for a short while, then the car stops, such as at traffic lights. Cycling the A/C switch on the panel will usually get it to return working after 3-4 minutes. The blower is still blowing air, though hot.

I bought an inexpensive gauge and the low pressure side seems okay, though I added a can of R-134a anyway. The system is still within range, (35 psi maybe?) and this helped the situation for a short bit, but the problem has returned.

My luck will certainly be that the compressor needs replacing, but I thought I would seek your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

- Mark
