Once moving again will eventually blow cold for a little while. Checked Freon is good. No apparent leaks. Clutch will disengage when it shouldn't making blow hot. All fans are working like they should. Car not overheating.

Good morning,

You have cooling fans that need to run when the car is stopped or at idle. When you drive, the air flowing through the condenser is enough to cool it down.

Have the fans checked to see if they are working when the AC is on.
