When turning on air conditioning the passenger side blows cold, but drivers side stays warm most of the time.

This car does not have dual climate control, so I would say the A/C is a little low on refrigerant.

Here is a guide to help you add refrigerant:

Thanks.
It ended up being low on freon and I added some and we are back cold. Just as a warning those new freon cans don't always seal with the Schrader valve when removing as I got a surprise when doing it.
