Re: 96' Cavalier A/c runs slow at stop but then speeds up when driving?

The issue is most likely that your car is idling low and you're putting a large draw on it. The AC compressor takes a good amount of power to run as does the alternator with a full load. Those two factors combined with a hot car and a hot cooling system (power diverted to cooling fan on both AC condensor and radiator) on a car that doesn't make much power, especially at 600rpms gives you the afore mentioned issue.
