I got the AC blowing cold again for the first time in about 2 years this week. So great to have AC again, however I can tell the air is quite noticeably warmer when the car is at a stop. It is warmer yet when I am at a stop for a long period. While moving, it feels great. I'm guessing this is due to an inadequate fan?
These cars have a 2 speed fan, correct? About 2 years ago, my the fan motor burnt up and I bought the cheapest fan available (motor only) from rockauto to get going again. Is it possible the fan I purchased is only a one speed fan, allowing for some cooling while stopped, but not enough for the AC on a hot day? Is there any way to check or verify two speed function?
I know the fan runs, but I think it just doesn't push enough air. When charging the AC, I used the assistance of a garden hose on the condenser to get the high side pressures down, otherwise, the high side pressure was excessively high without even getting a full charge. Ohh, and when it isn't an insane 100* with 104 heat index, the AC can keep up pretty well while stopped. It always feels fine at speed though.
