Default Ac light flashes on sc400 with 2jzgte swap

Car has the swap and uses 2jz compressor. It works great on old start up or after long cool down periods. The problem is after the car has been running and I stop the car. When I come back 15 min later, the ac light starts flashing and I get no ac. I have to wait until the car is completely cool before it works again. I notice if I sprinkle some water on the compressor it immediately starts working again. Almost like its over heating the compressor. Anyone seen this before? Maybe the clutch or compressor rotation sensor?

Thanks - Sid

My buddy have the same thing going on. It's a warning for either low on freon or the compressor isn't working right. Just because it cools it doesn't mean it ain't low on freon.

Mine does the samething, I am going to charge it and go from there. it's very cool when you first turn it one then later the ac light will start to blink.

Under the compressor you have a litttle sensor that goes inside the compressor that's sensor that sense how much freon you have in the compressor , if you are low the ac light will start to blink so you don't burn up the compressor.
