I have a civic but when I turn the A/C on it starts out hot like normal and then it goes cold for about 5 minutes and then it goes back hot. What is the deal. Is it the compressor or something. Please help. Thanks

 

From the FAQ's: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2041582

 

verify that the vehicle is draining water from the evaporator. If the drain hose is clogged, you'll have no flow of cold air.

 

is the compressor still running when it gets hot?

check ur line pressures. that will give u an idea of what is going on.
