This problem is really annoying...So anyways, my A/C compressor gave out, bad clutch. I bought a re manufactured one and installed with new drier. Installed, vacuumed, recharged, all necessary steps to install A/C. Also added dye to check leaks. Everything was setup fine and was running perfectly. Now once we test A/C, we put at full blast and it cools, but it takes a while to cool (this was at night when we tested).
In the daytime when it is really hot here in FL, lets say car is cold and I turn on A/C it cools fine. Now after driving for a bit and sitting in idle, I turn A/C on and it blows normal temp air, a bit on the cooler side, but not icy cold at all. I leave it on for like 5minutes and still the same, sweating inside the car...Now when driving it gets a bit cooler, but still not as icy cold as it used to be...There are no leaks and pressure is good. What can this be? Im so confused. A/C Techs please help!
