    a/c question

    When I use my air conditioning it blows warm air for about 10 minutes and then starts cooling off. I drive 21 miles to work and it seems like it takes 5-10 miles for it to cool of the car. When it gets going it blows cold air. I would like to get this fixed before Texas summer temps get here. Do you think it just needs to be charged or is compressor going?

    You need to watch the clutch on the front of the compressor to see if it is engaging or not... If not you can jump the pressure switch to see if it then engages. If so YES it needs to be charged.
    Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!
