I live in South Texas and my a/c compressor runs all the time. At highway
speeds, I have no problems with it. However in stop and go traffic it shuts
down, and I have to leave it off for a few minutes before it restarts again.
The it will run for a few more minutes and shut down again. Does anybody
have any ideas?

Thanks

Compressor over-heat switch??? If so, pretty common problem- bypass the
switch.
