Default Air Conditioner Issue

This just started happening. I start the car and the AC blows warm (not even trying to cool off). It blows warm until I go WOT then it instantly starts blowing cold and it stays cold from then on. Any idea what this could be? Refrigerant seems fine, though I will try again after a drive, before I stop the car, when I know it’s blowing cold.

What do you base your comment that refrigant seems fine, you should have somebody hook up some gauges to vetify.

I suggest you verify the compressor clutch is engaged and remains engaged when you press the a/c request button. Then, as already suggested, hook up a gage set and report back on the pressures.

I believe the only connection between the a/c and throttle position is that the compressor disengages at WOT.
