Its fixed and did not cost an arm and a leg, only a finger..

I find the AC running MUCH better now that its recharged and running right. Its cooling faster and running better. Though I'll say that I got attached to the 2011 rental tsx.

What was wrong?

Wow is this a common acura problem?

What was wrong?

The AC pressure relay thing was sticking (compressor relay) and it didnt turn off the compressor, so pressure rose until the emergency valve opened and released R134a.

So they fixed that.. this is a reasonably common issue if you google 'bouncing idle', its a problem that has been noted before... the solution was in 2 or 3 posts but yeah basically this is the cause..
