Need A/C help.
Here's what's happening. While the car sits idle, the a/c will turn off on its own. Temps have been 90+ and I first noticed this when I cranked my car to cool it down. I got back in and it was blowing hot air. I can turn the a/c on and within a couple of seconds, it will turn off but the fan still blows.
If I'm driving, it seems to work ok. I'm guessing it's something to do with heat and the compressor, but haven't heard of anything like it.
My car is an '02 Z06 with 28k. Anyone else have this happen or know what's going on?

there is a pressure switch in the refrigerant lines of the system, it may have failed or you are low on refrigerant, switch will low pressure and shut the system down
most likely there is an HVAC code that will show up

I'll look into that.

I know what u are saying. My car has been like that for years so I just figured it is because the car hasn't warmed up. Once I run the car, it doesn't seem to do that. My freon is full up. I wonder if most vettes are that way?
