When I'm on the road in 80+ degrees with the A/C on, the compressor clutch engages and dis-engages about every 10 seconds. I don't think this is normal. Any thoughts? The car is a 1995 850. Thanks.

Pull in for service. Your AC system is leaking coolant, which is why the compressor is kicking on and off so much.

Supposition? Your evaporator. That's a mess you don't want to deal with. Possibly has pinhole leaks. Fairly common on these guys.
