Hi, my car has a Freon but I don't feel cold air coming from the vents. The compressor works fine, and the fan is blowing. I don't know what's wrong with it.

I think we need to back up and find out what the pressure is on the high and low side because that is going to tell us what is happening inside the system. Basically, you can have Freon, the compressor come on, and still have no pressure which will tell us what direction we need to go.

Here are a couple of guides that will help with this:

If you don't have a gauge set, then you can rent one from a local parts store. Just hook them up and check the pressure with the engine on and A/C off and then with the A/C on.

Get a video of the gauges or just record what the pressures are at the start (static) then when the compressor kicks on and off.

Below is a chart that will help with what the issue could be based on the pressure.
