AC Issue - Cool not Cold

[mjamesb80]

I'm having the AC blow cool - definitely not cold

Today was pretty humid out so I turned on the AC and it never got cold all the way home. It was only about 70 degrees outside so my AC should have felt ice cold after having it turned up while driving on the highway.

I tried different settings - tried the heat ( it works )

Any ideas?

I haven't needed to use the AC in at least a month or more.

Repairs done recently:
About 3 weeks ago I got a "Service Engine Soon" light - Code was PO125
Temp gauge was showing Cold all the time.
I replaced the sensor and the thermostat.
Temp gauge now shows normal.
Only odd thing is it stays on Cold for the first few min or so of driving before the needle moves to the middle (this may be normal)

One of the most common problems is a leak developing in the drier that is beside the rad. If you put your fingers in under the insulation and observe oil towards the bottom it has a leak. This is only one of many things that could reduce cooling.

I got it cooling again with some R134 freon.
The can said it would "repair" as well.
So, i'm sure it will help with a small leak if there is one.

For now, it's cooling fine.
