My compressor clutch and stator (coil?) were changed recently for the same symptoms. It would blow cold sometimes, but it would not last long. i was going to try adjusting the clutch gap myself, because it was over spec, but it looked almost impossible to do with the compressor in the car. I have an 03 V6, so the 4 cylinder version may be different. It cost me $600 at the dealership, but it would have cost at least $300 for the parts anyway to do it myself, and I still would have needed a shop to evacuate and replace the coolant.
