Default AC/Help....Please

Hi All. I have 98 coupe with dule AC controles. On my side ( drivers side ) it blows out some what cool air. On the Passengers side it blows REALLY COLD air. The amount and force of air coming out is the same on both sides. I have both sides set to MAX COLD. The problem stays the same if I do out side air or rec air. I am NOT getting any codes at all and the AC was charged about 3 month ago. Started getting this prob about 3 weeks ago. What do you guys think ?

THANKS !

As crazy as it sounds, it sounds like it is low on freon. Mine did the same thing when it was low. I've been told the pass side of the evaporator cools first and if the freon is low, it will only cool half of it. I went through a lot of trouble shooting on mine before someone on here told me about this. Sounds like you have a leak...

i agree with blown427. i had the same problem with mine in the beginning of this summer. i had my mechanic run the dye through the system and it didnt show any leaks but it still had the same problem you are having now. anyways i had the mechanic charge the ac just in case and whaaalaa it worked. ac is running 100 perfect again but im pretty sure that come next summer im going to have to charge it again.
