2005 Chevy Cavalier. When driving, air conditioner blows cool and works fine. When stopped for more than a few seconds at a stop light/stop sign, etc. air blowing from vents turns hot. The temp on the vehicle goes up a little higher than normal, but nothing alarming yet. Possible problems?

It may be that you have a vacuum leak. In some models of GM cars the AC controls are controlled by vacuum. At idle the vacuum may not have enough suction to hold a control in the desired position. When the situation happens, place the transmission in neutral and increase the RPM. If the AC blows cold then the vacuum may be the problem.

SOURCE: programming alarm on chevy cavalier

The easiest way to do this is to take your ca to the chevy dealership and have them program it for you most places will do this for free, so you should call around to see if they charge.

SOURCE: 2005 cavalier cluster problem

Well I installed a brand new speed sensor, and lost my money there because it didn't make a bit of difference. So I Googled and called around, and found a used cluster for $112 bucks with shipping. One of my local guys is going to install it for me at $30 bucks. If that won't fix the problem, I guess I'll ask for a Government bail out and have it fixed at the dealer.

SOURCE: 1999 Chevy Cavalier A/C blows hot air

More likely the recharge blew a o-ring and you have a leak. When your Cavalier was blowing hot air and a recharge fixed it that means it was low on freon which lets o-rings dry out, go back to the shop and have them leak test it. They use a pressurized dye to find the problem. If it's blowing it's not the cooling fan relay, they may have meant compressor relay but I'd have a leak test done first it's not expensive and easier that chasing unknown possibilities.

Why won't the air conditioner blow air?

The very first thing you need to do is to check for fuses or say faulty fuse. Secondly check fan which starts along with air conditioner, it might be manually switched off or the fan may have been clogged. Also reason can be lack of refrigerant - charge your air conditioner with refrigerant. Last thing you need to check is cooling coil - the cooling coil may freeze if there is no refrigerant in the system.

My 2005 chevy avalanche only blows cold air until i drive then when I stop cold air Agian

One of two things has happened. Either your coolant has gotten really low (easy enough to check) or you heater core is starting to plug up.

Why does Ac blow warm air when I stop in Toyota sequoia?

The most likely culprit is the condenser fan not working. While driving, air is forced through the condenser fins cooling the condenser and all is fine, but when stopped and the fan is not blowing and you notice the air get warm.

Air conditioner only works while moving. The AC stops cooling when stopped and idleing. Anyone know what causes this?

Your freon level is low, and not circulating on slow compressor speeds. Stop by any shop that has a sign stating they work on a/c and they can recharge it for you in a few minutes. Here where I live they charge about $20.00 labor plus a charge for the freon they put in, they sell it by the pound.
