a/c problem
well my typical a/c, warm as crap when you come to a stop. but if im at a stop the a/c gets warmer and warmer and then eventually the a/c shuts off then after idling for a bit it will turn back on and then eventually turn off, it wont do this while im driving . its almost like the a/c is overheating and shutting down. i beleive a a/c fan would solve this. but it never came with one from the factory.well mine didnt. so something isnt right here.

your a/c sounds overcharged. this freezes up your evaporator making it not work then once it thaws out it turns back on and freezes again. you could take a screw driver and release some refrigerant into the atmosphere but thats highly illegal! punishable by ten years in jail and 500,000$ fine. but i cant stop you from what you do in the privacy of your own home.
