air cond.
I was out of town, temp. in the 90's I run up to 85- 90 and my air blowed hot slowed back to 75 and it got cold again. Is it that ok or is something wrong. ??

Condenser and/or radiator is plugged, or your fans aren't working. Remember that our cars are "bottom-feeders", and pick up all manner of crap from the road.

Our condensers don't get a straight-on blast of air like an open-grill car would, and any blockage of cooling efficiency raises the a/c head pressures quickly, and once hot, are difficult to bring back down without everything operating perfectly.
If you haven't made it a yearly ritual yet, add it to your list to clean both radiator and condenser. Take a look peeps, unless you check it annualy, I'll bet it's down a least 20% in efficiency.
