My AC used to work flawlessly but I've noticed recently that while idling no cool air comes out. Checked and cleaned front radiator and condenser but no improvement. Had repair shop recharge system and no change. It cools off fine once the car starts moving. It acts as if the fan condenser doesn't work at idle (but both radiator and condenser fans actually moving). No resolution as of today.

This is the most annoying problem I have. Since the aerodynamics precludes opening the windows at anything over 40 miles an hour and then you have to have multiple windows down to avoid excessive drumming, having a functioning a'c is pretty important. When it does start to cool at highway speeds it stilkl isn't adequate on a good summer day. Now, August 28th, all of a sudden the A/C smells like vinegar when on, and you can;t have it off and just get outside air through the vents.
