Your AC compressor may not be kicking on due to a faulty capacitor, low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning thermostat, or an electrical issue. It is best to have a professional HVAC technician diagnose and repair the problem.
AC compressors will cycle like that when there is insufficient refrigerant.
Probably low or empty of freon.

First check your fuse for your AC in your fuse box, make sure it is good. Make sure your cooling fan is turning on when you turn on your AC, if not it could be your fan relay. If the AC compressor fan clutch is kicking on and off then it just needs freon. If the AC compressor fan clutch is not turning then it could be completely out of freon due to a leak, or you need a new AC compressor.
Your AC may not be kicking on due to a variety of reasons, such as a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermostat, a clogged air filter, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor. It is recommended to check these potential issues or contact a professional for further assistance.

Anyone have problems with 2001 crv idleing and the ac compressor rapidly kicking in and out?

Mabe your compressor is not kicking on for some reason. Check to see if the front of your compressor starts spinning when you turn it on. If it don't check to see if there is power to the wires that go to your compressor. If there is power you have a bad compressor. If there is not check the fuses or relays.
Could be a number of reasons. It's pretty much impossible to narrow it down without knowing what the actual symptoms are. When you say your AC doesn't start, you could mean the blower fan isn't kicking on, you could mean your AC compressor isn't kicking on.... the question's much too vague.
check the fuse, then the relay and wiring. If the pulley clutch is getting power, then you may need a new clutch or compressor.
