AC is acting up. When the car is at idle car blows nice cool air from both drivers side vent and passenger side vent. When I start driving down the road the drivers side warms up a little not hot but definitely not as cool, while the passenger side stays nice and cool. When I return to a Idle both sides are nice and cool what is going on here ? Have history codes of 361, 367. I have not checked the Freon level this year since the whole AC system was replaced last year but plan on checking it this week hopefully. I found one other post on the net with this same problem but no resolution. I figure with the depth of Knowledge on this forum someone has to have had the same problem and knows how to fix it. Thanks Guys.

Sounds very much like you have a low charge. The only way to confirm that is with a set of gages (charge manifold)

Thanks Bill I was going to PM you if someone didn't respond. After I check the charge level I will report back. I am hoping that is all it is.

Checked Freon level today. Sure enough it was a little low.
