In a nut shell NO, Automotive AC compressors should not cycle on & off,
This is usually caused by low refrigerant charge, the system has a low pressure sensor and when the ac starts to run the compressor clutch (inner part on the compressor pulley) engages (Spins with pulley) when it receives 12Volts electrical power to its electromagnet. If low on refrigerant the low pressure sensor interrupts the 12 volt to clutch, (this is short cycle on low sensor) because low refrigerant flow will also have low oil flow bad for compressor. add a 12 oz can of R134a Wal Mart $7.00 , also need R134a service hose assembly $12.00 Auto zone etc follow instructions of service hose kit, careful do not over fill, If you allow the ac to short cycle the clutch will fail due to excess wear or compressor will fail due to lack of lubrication (oil circulation). Use AC often to keep the seals wet with oil or they will dry-shrink-crack- leak. Use defrost often when ac is not needed (ac will run) same reason. this it the auto owners AC Bible.

Why does your ac stop blowing when you accelerate?
it shouldn't stop blowing, but the compressor will shut off momentarily while you accelerate to get slightly more horsepower than it would with the compressor running
Is there a way to stop your period a day before I'm supposed to come off?
No, there is no way to stop your period a day before you are supposed to come off. The myth that douching works is nothing more than that, and is actually quite dangerous.

What is more applicable screw type compressor or reciprocating compressor in terms of printing?
A screw air compressor generates greater volumes of air more quickly than that of a conventional air compressor .
Why is a scroll compressor more efficient than a reciprocating compressor?
The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.
Why can a girl spin a stick faster than a boy?
Girls are typically smaller than boys. Because they are smaller and more narrow than boys they will meet less air resistance as they spin, causing them to spin faster.
Do wind turbines spin faster than windmills in light wind?
it would spin slower
Why does the compressor keep turning off in your air conditioner?
More than likely it's the internal overload on the compressor kicking it out.
How do you stop skating in Super Mario Galaxy?
Just spin second time. Actually, just spinning a second time doesn't work. You need to jump then spin. I find that the most effective without loosing too much control. A ground pound is better than jump and spin.
Is it easier to stop a hard boiled egg rather than a raw egg?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. A hard boiled egg will spin faster and roll farther, if that's what you mean.
