My A/C would blow cold, gradually got worse by not blowing cold air unless vehicle was moving, now it doesn't blow cold air at all

Hi,

This could be the result of low Freon. By chance, do you hear the AC compressor turn on when the AC is requested on? If not, try charging it first.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Also, take a look at this link, you may find it helpful:

Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

I appreciate it, yes, the compressor comes on and stays on, recharged Freon too.

It sounds like you have a compressor that has gone out, so we need to get a set of gauges to check the high and low side.

here is a video to help please let us know what the high and low side pressure are at idle:
