Air conditioner works when I first start car and drive for quite a while and then all of a sudden it will stop. Blows really cold air when it’s working, and then starts blowing warm air after driving for a while. Not low on Freon I checked it.

Good morning,

Can you give me the low and high side pressures when it blows warm? I need those readings to help determine the failure.

Does the water drip on the ground when it is running?

Okay, you can rent a set of gauges at a parts store or buy a cheap set at Harbor Freight?

Let me know when you get the pressures.
