check the pressures, it could have too much pressure.

Possibly low refrigerant. When every thing is cold, there is too little pressure to allow the compressor to activate, after every thing warms up a bit, the pressure climbs and the compressor is allowed to start. Other likely culprit is a sticky relay or the plug at the compressor is loose making intermittant connection. Check the simple stuff (fuses etc) then get the pressures checked.
