AC issues and only 3&4 work on HVAC
So my AC seems to run well for about 5-10 minutes then the compressor stop kicking in. After driving for a little while, I can turn the AC back on for another 5-10 minutes. Before taking it in to a mechanic, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what could be wrong?
Also, only positions 3&4 work on my HVAC. Any ideas?

Does your AC start blowing a low pressure, fine mist/fog looking thing from the vents when it stops working properly?
Could be a number of things, but likely a clogged expansion valve (freezes after a few minutes and stops flow).
This thread I just posted (for other reasons) contains a lot of useful links. If it turns out you're having to replace the expansion valve, I strongly encourage to check out the "cabin filter retrofit" thread that's linked in my post above and consider doing that.

Good luck!
