I just bought my 88 bonneville a few weeks ago from an older couple (
) and the only thing I've noticed so far, is that when I come to a stop at a stop sign or red light, the air still blows as hard, but it isnt near as cold. I got a friend to check everything, and he said the AC was "overcharged".. so he fixed that.. and it still occurs. its nothing really serious, but can get annoying during the summers in florida
Any1 know what causes this or tips on what to check into?
(it was switched over from freon to w/e the newer standard is)
Thanks

But, seriously, it sounds like a compressor problem.
