My ac is only cold when I am driving, my heat is only hot when I am driving, not getting cold air or hot air in idle position?
So many mechanics, so little consensus. Sounds pretty common.
I can't say as to why hot and cold only when moving, but it sounds like a weak performing system.
As for the squealing, I would suggest removing one belt at a time, and see if one eliminates the squeal. That would be the problem belt or pulley or component. Also, if you have any idler pulleys (a stand-alone pulley) on the belt system, be sure and check them as well. Spin them without the belt on, and see if they make any noise.
It would seem you need a mechanic who is willing to spend some time with you on this to find the problem. When you find a good one, you will know it by his output, and make yourself a regular customer. Good luck.
We've got the same problem with our 2001 Mazda 626. We also replaced the compressor, which didn't help.
When the heater or defroster is on the air conditioning pump squeals and I get a burning smell in the car.
