A/C issue

My A/C will get warm as im sitting in traffic but cools down after i get moving. Checked the fan out and its working just fine. What else could be causing this?

Re: A/C issue

how hot is it outside? alot of times this is normal, and the rpms need to be high enough to turn the compressor. if it gets cold on the freeway then i think its normal.

Re: A/C issue

could be a leak in the system, causing lower refrigerant charge. and you need to get the leak found and sealed first before a recharge. they sell kits you can diy, but usually they dont work very well. and you need to be careful with honda compressors, using the wrong oil will sieze them up and then you are gonna be paying $1k+ for a fix.
