1 make shure you clutch fan is good so it pulls lots of air across the rad and condenser
2 get the condenser clean and free of bugs and dirt
3 have the compressor checked ,replace if needed with a new or rebuilt one.
also if your over charged it can cause the compressor to lock up when it is hot .

OK WILL DO

SAME HERE CAN DO

3 have the compressor checked ,replace if needed with a new or rebuilt one.WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CHECKED? IS THIS NOT A CASE OF IT WORKS OR IT DOES NOT? CAN IT WORK INTERMITTENTLY?

also if your over charged it can cause the compressor to lock up when it is hot .I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE ISSUE AS THE AC SEEMS TO WORK BETTER AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE EI 15 - 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING WITH A/C ON

maybe a bad tensioner? again?

if the compressor is starting to go bad it will be harder to turn and break a belt. I assumed you checked the tensoner and it was good .
