When you crank the car and turn on the A/C sometimes it blows cold air and other times just seems to be the fan running. When driving, it will just stop blowing cold air at a red light or even turning a corner. It will go days not cooling then work for days. Freon level has been checked and is correct.
Any help is apreciated.
Thanks

check the heater/ac box for the actuators not opening. they may be stuck or broken or not getting vacuum/electrical to operate.

Expansion valve. Blocked condenser. Bad compressor. Make sure the compressor cycles when you have the AC switched on. When it isn't cooling,make sure the compressor clutch is cycling.
