Time to throw on the gauge set to check low and high side pressures. Check the idler arm tension too.

New idler pulley last year. New belt too.
What I am thinking is the compressor might be going or there might be junk in the lines causing it to shut off. What I'm trying to find out is if I pull the belt off, does the compressor freely turn by hand, or is there resistance or what?
There is a little filter along the lines that sometimes get clogged up with teflon or debris, and that can effect the pressures. Either way, I know I don't want to charge it unless I have all my basis covered.

If the compressor is melting down (black death) the pressures will reflect that. Without some basic diagnostics it's a guess. Trying to turn the compressor by hand on a fully charged system may not be possible, I never tried it.
