I have tried shutting down the engine and restarting. It has worked once or twice, but only gets the AC rolling for about a minute or two. Is there anything I can check at a hands on level (i.e. no special equipment) to see if the belt is tight enough? I can see the belts running without apparently slipping both when the AC is working and when it isn't.
I will have to double-check on the evap temp sensor, and get back to you.
