How did my broken a/c suddenly start blowing cold???

My a/c has been blowing hot for a few weeks since I put in an a/c leak sealer (3 oz can) chased with (2) 12 oz r-134a cans. Nothing ever happened. My compressor was cycling on and off constantly and it never got cold again. Then yesterday, I decided to put my a/c on and it started cooling down!!! It isn't super cold and doesn't last for more than 1/2 hour but it gets the job done!

I'm guessing you actually have an issue with the clutch gap, if your system charge is OK.

So is that the fix that has the bread clip?

Precisely. Make sure it's holding a charge first, though. It may just need another can.
