IF it is over-pressuring, the system could have too much R134-A in it. It happens when the cooling process becomes shorter than the expected time. Installation of a new radiator solved the problem.

When the thermostat calls for a 1 or 2 degree rise in temperature the blower motor short cycles but when the thermostat call for 3 degrees or more it doesn't short cycle until the thermostat setting is within 2 degrees. The blower remains on, but the compressor doesn't kick on for about another 10 seconds. Even if the compressor is under warranty – most are 10 years but a few brands offer Lifetime warranties – labor isn't covered.

I had a friend who would add a half pound of refrigerant every time his A/C started to blow a little less cold (96 Impreza). A second sort of "short cycling" of the compressor also suggests that diagnosis and repair are needed: if an air conditioner or heat pump compressor runs for a very long time (i. e. the cooling system is not able to reach the indoor set point on the thermostat) and the the compressor shuts off for just a few minutes, then re-starts, I suspect trouble. Troubleshooting starts by checking the air handler or furnace filter. I feel the clutch is working because there is an RPM drop during the 5 seconds or so the compressor comes on.
