My A/C blows cool for about 2 minutes of drive time... then I blows hot... I know it's not just freon... something is leaking... would it be the Compressor or the Condensor... anyone have any ideas without having to look at it??
THANKS!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Does it blow for only 2 minutes after EACH time of starting the car and driving around or did it only happen at once? When your A/c starts blowing hot, is the A/c clutch still engaged and spinning?

maybe his ac clutch on the compressor is slipping up, causing it only to work so often.:confused:

Make sure the belt to the compressor is properly tensioned.

It usually blows cool for the first 2 minutes that I drive the car that whole entire day... like once it starts blowing warm and hot it doesn't normally blow cooler until the next day that I start it up... (when I say cool.. I mean hardly cool.. not cold like it use to)
Basically, it's not really blowing cold at all. We had the car looked at a few years ago when It first crapped out on us and a local dealer repair place said Compressor or Condensor was bad. (It was my girlfriends car at the time [she's my wife now] and she doesn't remember which one they said. It was a $600 fix at the time and she said forget it.)
I'm just to dirt cheap to go to some place to have it diagnosed for $40-$50 bucks... just thought someone might know here. If not, I'll just buy a Condensor and a Compressor from a local junkyard and install both.
THANKS FOR YOUR KNOWLEGE!

it sounds more of the condensor to me, cuz if it still is blowing and shit then the system just isnt converting the air into cooler air, so id say try condensor first.
