Weird air conditioning issue.

By 706josh
- Sun Jun 12, 2011 5:41 pm #259194 Okay so yesterday I had my AC converted over to r134 and it worked great. Cools really well. However, whenever I come to a stop it stops blowing cold air. I have to turn the AC off for a few minutes before it will work again. The system is fully charged and has no leaks at all . I also cleaned the condenser but quite a few of the fins were bent. I have noticed my car idles really low especially when the AC is on. Could that have any thing to do with it? Any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
