Kevin,
Your problem is with the compressor clutch. The ECU dissengages the clutch when the engine under heavy acceleration. When you return to normal it should engage. If the clutch is hot and the compressor is under high load it will not engage until it cools off. I was able to connect the clutch wire directly to the battery, applying slightly higher (1.5V) voltage and it clicked on. I am working on a relay bypass that will do this to try to get more life out of it. It is presently under test.
