My a/c works intermittently during the day but always cools at night. The engine fan is now running faster than before and continues to run 4-5 seconds after engines is turned off. The freon is at the correct pressure.

Hello,

I have seen this problem before what happens is the compressor clutch coil gets hot and stops working you will need to replace the compressor here is a guide with diagrams below to show you on your car.

You will need to vacuum and recharge the system.
