A/C not cold when idle
Sitting still is unbearable now. No cold air when sitting still but it puts out nice cold air while i'm driving on the interstate. Anybody know what's going on? What is the fix? more Freon?

This can be a few different things. It can be low on freon, usually the rear AC goes warm first in this instance if you have dual AC. The other can be a bad clutch on the radiator fan, or that the ambient temp is very high and the radiator fan doesn't give enough airflow when idling. I had that issue as I'm in a tropical country so I added electrical fans in front of my condenser/radiator which is switched on when the compressor engages. The last thing can be a lot of debris and dirt on the condenser or between the radiator and condenser which is reducing the airflow.
