All of the sudden my air conditioner was not working. I lose air flow and I press the gas. When the car is in park or I am not accelerating the air conditioner comes through the vents like it is supposed to. We already recharged it. Where should we look for this blower problem?

The most likely cause of this is a simple vacuum line leak. I am including a link to our guide on how to look for vacuum leaks. In particular, look for one going into a plastic ball or box.

Good luck and let us know what you find.
