91 Civic LX, the ac works but cycles on and off every 5 to 15 seconds. Has automatic transmission, if this helps.... it has a 4 year old r134a system in it....

There's only one A/C fan next to the radiator fan. Does it run?

Inspect the front of the condenser. Are fins clogged with bugs and road debris?
Condenser is clean and the fan by a.c. runs when compressor is engaged

While engine is idling with the A/C, spray cold water on the front of condenser with a garden hose. Does the A/C stay on much longer by cooling the condenser?

Did you do the R134A conversion?
Ill try the water test after the cruise control matter is done

Do the test I suggested with the water hose.

If the A/C still short cycles, the A/C system may be overcharged with refrigerant. You'll need a manifold gauge set to test this possibility.
Water test completed, it still cycles like mentioned prior. I'll take it to a shop for further....

Thank you for the assistance on both matters
