well hello im new to the site my 1998 3.8 mustang started to over heat on me today so i put a thermo in it and a couple of days ago i noticed my a/c compressor pully stoped spinning but it will come on for a minute then stop mean while the belts going full blast does my electric fan and a/c compressor run on my ccrm or what ever thats called why would my a/c stop and start spinning any help would be great

Your AC compressor is cycling. That is normal if you have either the AC or the defroster on. Is it still running hot?

when the clutch engages does the fan turn on?

the way hes describing it it sounds like his pulley isntmoving at all even tho the belt is

yeah the clutch kicks on but the pully does not move at all then its like the clutch has to take a break and stops then starts all over. but i took a better look at my fan and its toast the motor had metal flakes all in so now im stumped on the a/c but when i first get in the a/c will blow cold air but 2 minutes later its hot air and sally starts getting hot but i dont know if that was just from the fan not working ?? would the fan not working affect my a/c thanks for your time guys
