A/C seems to work great when it isn't hot out, once it gets hot out, the AC starts to blow hot air. It seems to correct it self if i turn the car off and on I believe. Also if I manually go from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to drive, it seems to turn back on temporarily ( this could just be coincidence )

Is this a common problem or easy fix? Is the compressor spacing causing this to dis engage? I am novice to under the hood repair, but my friend can do necessary fixes. any help is appreciated thanks
 






The AC system has pressure sensors to shut the system down. Operation of the low pressure switch would be my first guess. Easy to check if you have the gauges and experience. Without, a stop by an AC shop might be in order.
