A/C gets warm while at idle
Hey guys,
As it got warm this summer and I started using the A/C in my truck I've noticed that if the truck sets at idle for longer than just a minute or two, the A/C will start blowing warm air, not like heat or anything, just not cold. As long as I'm driving it blows nice and cold. It also takes longer than it should to start blowing cold air when I first start the truck and drive somewhere. I've checked the freon and it's good. Is the compressor getting weak or could it be another issue?

Have you checked the Compressor Gap, per SpringerPop's write-up?

Thanks for the advise guys, I'd never heard of compressor air gap before so I'll check that. As far as the PSI goes, what should it be? The radiator and condenser area is probably due to be cleaned out so I'll do that also. It's not just slightly warmer, It's alot warmer like if you turned the switch to just fan and not A/C.
