I would bet the compressor isn't spinning, or spinning fast enough. When the compressor on my 1990 died, the same thing happened because the tach sensor for the compressor sensed it wasn't spinning.

If there is a compressor pressure sensor, it's possible it's reading a pressure problem.

sounds like your compressor clutch coil - what is the gap on it?

When you stop the engine is at idle, and the motor probably is not spinning the compressor fast enough.

I would use a feeler gauge, like you would use to check spark plugs or valve lash
