Ford A/C :: 2000 F250 Start Blowing Warm And Slightly Humid Air Then Suddenly Cold Air Come Back

I just bought a 2000 f250 diesel truck and am having problems with the ac. When I first turn on the ac it blows very cold and works perfectly but after about 5 or 10 minutes it will start blowing warm and slightly humid air for probably around 5 or 10 minutes and then suddenly the very cold air will come back. This cycle repeats over and over again and I'm not sure what is wrong.

Ford A/C :: 2004 F250 - Heater Is Blowing Out Cold Air

Just bought a 04' F250, new head studs and gaskets. Put a tranny temp sensor in and replaced bad thermostat. My coolant res is full and temp is bout 185 (it's 10* outside). My heater is blowing out cold air, I'm assuming there's air in the system.

Ford A/C :: 1993 F250 - No Cold Air Blowing From Vents

I had my entire A/C unit converted to R-134 on my 93 F-250. This was the entire system done at a FORD dealership. I've got about 1000KM on it, mostly this past winter. I noticed a few weeks ago when i turned the A/C on that the air seemed to be only blowing air, like vent. It was not air conditioned. I ran it for 15 min or so before suddenly there was a blast of really cold air and it held strong until i turned the truck off.

I cannot reproduce the results again, however. I can tell that the compressor kicks in like before, meaning it seems to be working mechanically fine. The temp outside has been at or just above freezing. Would this have any effect on the A/C? Should I park this is a heated parade or something to test it? What to test/check prior to bringing to the dealership?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2005 F350 - Water Dripping In Cab Over Glove Box In Rain - A/C Blowing Humid Air?

2 things-
1) When it rains, I get water dripping in the cab over the glove box. The seal on the windshield looks fine. Truck has a sun roof. Is there a drain tube or something from there that might be plugged?

2) AC sometimes blows very humid air in the cab. It doesn't do it all the time, but seems to be in a cycle. After it runs for a while it switches to this humid mode and gets almost unbearable, to the point that I turn it off. In summer, when cooling, this air is warm. In winter, air is warm, but fogs windows pretty bad. What causes this? Noticed also that the tubes under the hood covered in frost and truck drips water from this area seemingly excessive when I park it.

The truck is an 05 F350 King Ranch 4x4 with the 6.0 Powerstroke

Ford A/C :: 1999 F250 - No Heat On Any Settings / Just Cold Air Blowing

99 f250 4x4 7.3 superduty has no heat. A/c seems to work ok had similar problem last year and replaced heat control switch in dash. Same thing this year, a/c works fine but no heat when turned to red or heat setting. Blower works fine just blows cold air. What may be sticking? Getting cold in MD and (excuse me but) Johnson goes full turtle on my morning ride to work.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: AC Starts Blowing Warm Humid Air In Stop-and-go Traffic

This weekend was a nice high 80's low 90's. My AC is usually ice cold. However now that the weather hit that high, when we are in stop-and-go traffic, the AC starts blowing warm humid air. I do see the temperature need creep a bit higher than the normal range.

Once we start driving, after a few minutes, the climbs back down and the cold AC returns. Turning the fan speed down, or turning the compressor off, then on again, seems to work.

What could be causing this? A friend said he has this issue with his car claiming the engine is the issue, not being powerful enough to keep the compressor running right, is that possible?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 - AC Stopped Blowing Cold At All

Background : 2002 Excursion 7.3L, 320k miles ...

AC was working OK, but not great. Then AC stopped blowing cold at all. Checked pulley, gap was huge, but pulley bearing was completely destroyed. Like, 1/2" wobble, half the ball bearings in there. Amazed it hadn't seized. Replaced pulley, set air gap to bottom of the spec.

Air seems to blow kinda cold briefly, then fades to no cooling after a couple minutes. Same at idle or moving. Front and rear both not cold. Lines in engine bay are cool, but not real cold

Compressor body feels hot, like...right at that threshold of too hot to touch. Don't have pressure gauges, but will buy/borrow some and take some readings.

What would symptoms of a clogged orifice tube be? What would symptoms of a clogged condenser be? If low on r134, I could refill, but any tips on chasing down leaks?

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2002 - A/C Blowing Lukewarm Heat And Semi Cold Air?

I have a 2002 f150 supercrew 5.4 liter. About mid winter my heat suddenly went from hot to lukewarm. A check of the fluids shows all is good. I use my truck solely for work so I didn't bother with it at the time. Summer is here and my AC blows kinda cold, at best. I can hear the blend door moving. The temp control does make a huge difference. It just doesn't get real cold or real hot. Not like it should.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2002 - AC Not Blowing Cold Air

I am trying to narrow down what could be the issue to my 2002 vw Jetta VR6 air conditioning. It is blowing air but the air is not cold. If I need to add refrigerant, where I can find the low pressure valve so I can do this on my own with one of those store bought cans.

Ford A/C :: 2002 F250 - Less Cold During Hot Weather

For the last couple of summers my A/C has been very weak as the weather gets hotter (and trust me in Charleston, SC that's REALLY HOT!). I've had the pressure check on high and low side and it's good, checked that the compressor clutch stays engaged after the truck runs at idle for a few minutes (cycled on and off every 10-15 seconds for the first 2 minutes truck ran they stayed spinning). Seems to get pretty cold at night and cloudy days or colder days but when I really need it all I get is luke warm air at best. Check temps on lines coming in and out of the condenser. See attached picture.....

Camry :: 2002 - Car Has Been Blowing Cold Air Only When On Heat / Antifreeze Leak

02 Camry with 202k. Recently my car has been blowing cold air only when it's on heat. Then it will start to overheat causing me to stop and pull over and I see little smoke come out. Also it has been leaking antifreeze and when I make sharp turns or come to a stop I can hear water or something behind the dash...

Passat (B5) :: 2002 V6 - No Heat / Cold Air Blowing At Idle And Under Load

2002 Passat v6 - climatronic control...

I have just cold air blowing at idle and under load. I have read posts and checked the following: temp remains at 190, heater coil hoses-both are hot and removed the dash to see if the flapper door (red arm) was moving-it is. Any other things I can check?

Passat - Volkswagen :: 2002 - Only Cold Air Blowing When It Is Supposed To Be Heat

I have a 2002 Passat that is only blowing cold air when it is supposed to be heat. I have checked the following items:

1. Both heater hoses are hot at the heater core which would indicate that the core is not restricted.
2. Air has been bled at the heater core and the antifreeze is at the correct level.
3. Car thermostat is operating correctly and maintains a steady 190 to 195 degrees.
4. When temperature control lever is moved from "cold" to "hot" the air noise definitely changes like a damper is moving but there is no change in air temperature. This is a manual control with cables (not digital read-out).

From what I have read so far I am convinced that there is a problem with the blend door but referring you back to #4 (air noise change) I believe that the cable is moving the damper. Can the blend door be accessed on this car without removing the center console? Can it be accessed through the glove box area?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2002 - AC Quit Blowing Cold / Compressor Need To Be Charged?

The AC on my car (2002 Jetta 1.8t) quit blowing cold. Did some troubleshooting and...

1. Checked Freon- level was ok

2. Noticed cooling fans were not coming on with AC button pressed and ignition on. Fans also not coming on when car up to temperature, but gauge never went above normal. Seems strange considering I live in Houston and it was 95+ out.

3. tested fans with direct power and both high and low are fine.

4. jumped terminals 1,2 and 2,3 on plug for cooling fan switch and fans turn on high and low...so thought must be bad cooling fan switch.

5. Replaced cooling fan switch and still no fans or ac when AC button is pressed and ignition on.

6. replaced Fan control module. Still no fans.

7. Checked Freon once more...and although it was in the ok range decided to add a little more. (was in the middle of ok range, and a cheap gauge)

8. Compressor kicks on, along with cooling fan. End up using the 1 can I had and now have cold air and fans that come on when hitting the AC button with ignition set to on position.

I thought the mkiv cars would always turn on the fans when AC button is pressed with ignition on? Or does the compressor also need to be charged?

Civic - Honda :: 2002 - AC Stay On For About Ten Minutes And Then Stopping Blowing Cold Air

I have a 2002 Civic LX. A/C worked until a few months ago. It would stay on for about ten minutes and then stopping blowing cold air; it would come back on and then go off again at it's own whim. Bought it to local Goodyear - told them the problem - they charged me about $130 to evacuate and recharge, looked for leafs but told me they saw no problems with the A/C, the condenser was fine, etc. A few days later, same problems started. Runs great for about ten minutes and then does its own thing.

I have a 2002 f250 superduty 5.4 4x4 around 317xxx original motor and trans. When it's cold out it won't start at all I have to use starting fluid but once started it will start right back up. Did the plugs fuel filter cleaned the intake and sensors still have a problem plenty of fuel pressure plenty of cranking amps brand new battery and Alternator. It just cranks and cranks when it's warm out fires right up. Runs smooth no lack of power or misfire no codes are being thrown also.
