A/C issues

well here for a while now my A/C has been a little messed up. what will happen is if i just start the truck and turn it on, it will run without any problems what so ever when im just sitting there at an idle. But if its been running, and im stopped then turn it on it will blow hot air at an idle. also if im running down the road, the only time that it will blow cold is if im in the throttle, such as taking off from a light, or goin up a hill.

i bought one of those recharge bottles with the gauge on it, but the gauge says that there is plenty of refrigerant in the system.

does anybody have any ideas of what the problem could be.

thanks, Austin

I save certain threads in a special folder for just this reason.
