Lose a/c after

03 Expedition xlt 2wd On long trips having problem where air flow coming out of vents is low even on max setting .if i disconnect vacuum line that comes in to (i believe controls) for a couple of min then air flow returns.Or turning off a/c completely for a few min can also produce same results. HeLp!!Hoses in the engine compartment look fine.

Your evaporator coil could be freezing up if the condensate drain is clogged and not flowing the water out.

Agreed. I had this once on a GMC Typhoon. The problem was ultimately an improper amount of freon put in the A/C system by a mechanic if memory serves.

Hey Gents , thanks for responding!How would this obstruct air flow,also have noticed a little more water on the ground than before and in a different spot but close to where it normally drains .I ve replaced the pulley and clutch hub because of a loud noise what appears to me to be from a/c.I only think this cause noise is only present when a/c is running,also thinking harmonic balance, drive belt pulleys(have replaced 2 of 3) tension pulley?

It restricts airflow because the evaporator turns into a block of ice. Air doesn't flow through ice.
