Are you sure it has a full charge? If it in fact does, check the low
pressure switch...I believe it's mounted on the accumulator...the black
canister-like thing on the passenger side near the heater box.

Cycling of the compressor is normal... depending on ambient temp and
blower speed. What is the temp of the air exiting the vents?
