AC stops blowing cold air when idling, comes back when moving
just checking if anyone had similar experience or idea what could be happening...
driving home from work (40 min drive) as usual and AC running fine at 73... near home i feel the AC losing it's cool slowly. I park the car to check further and test by dropping temp to lowest and have it blow at max speed... and all cold is gone and just warm air. i try turning on and off, AC on and off, increase/decrease temp and nothing. i check the water temp gauge and running at the middle as usual. so i turn off AC because it's just blowing warm air now and start driving home...
i'm thinking crap i need to take the car in tomorrow morning and i turn on the AC while driving home just to check it again... then all of a sudden it's working blowing cold cold air.
wtf?? the water temp was normal pointing at middle while the air was blowing warm so thinking not the fans failing. anyone else? any ideas? anyone else? any ideas?
thx.
