My air compressor runs, but it blows hot air. What might be wrong? I took it to 3 mechanics and they said the comessor was running, but its still blowing hot air. Do you have any idea about cost to repair this or what I might check to diagnose the problem. I leave tomorrow for a trip to sunny, hot, Florida and the thought of the hot drive has me concerned.

    You probably just need to recharge the AC. Did the mechanics you talked to not offer that? You car is old enough that this may be the fix.

    My AC comesw on for about 5 minutes blows cold then goes hot. I replaced the compressor, expansion valve , drier reciever, leak checked, and serviced the system and the problem is still there.
