Here's another thing I noticed, and I'm curious if other have noticed this:
When I turn the car on, but don't start it (i.e. hit the start button twice, but don't have the clutch and brake depressed, so it won't start the car), the Aircon is on, but it doesn't blow very cold. If I sit in the car for a minute in this state, I get a good sense of what the Aircon temp is at in this state. Then, when I start the car (no other variables changed), all of a sudden the air blows much colder. I know various belts are driven off the running engine, but surprised at the magnitude of the cooling difference since I haven't noticed a difference in any previous car I've driven. i.e. on those other cars when the Aircon is on, it gives the same amount of cooling regardless of whether the car is running or not. Wondering if knowing this info triggers some thoughts from somebody about what's causing the weak Aircon in my car! |

Wish I had "A/C" like that on my car. That, or that my car could fly. |

I think I experienced this on a Lexus LS430 recently, but maybe I'm misremembering.

I never timed it, but it did vary based on demand and temps. Sometimes it would not cycle back on for quite a while. It seemed to work well. If I were to guess, I'd say on average the engine would be off for 3 minutes and on for 1 (or less) during parked A/C operation.

Now that I've picked up and been driving my '23, I've also noticed that the AC is very weak at idle. This pretty much means that you'll be disappointed during stop and go traffic, as I'm guessing the variable compressor runs at very low pressure. Anyway, as soon as you're cruising, it wakes up and cools down nicely... Problems with having a tiny engine I guess : ) Instead of bumping idle RPM like most cars, it bumps down the compressor. Perhaps it was made to gain another MPG in EPA loop that requires AC on, who knows...
