90, 835 miles
automatic transmission, 2 wheel drive
no fluid leaks noticable
only thing repaired on it so far was main engine belt I believe

Ok the other day the a/c was blowing hot air, buts gets colder when start driving, warmer when idling, at stop sign and such. The next day a very metally rattly type sound started to occur when we started the car up, and continues to occur till the car is shut off. The noise will occur whether the a/c is on or off.
What is this from? And if u know around how much does this cost?

Sounds to me you got a worn clutch pulley unit on youre AC unit thats wornout, Also if youre AC is pushing out hot/ warm air, Its maybe AC unit is needing to be recharged.

Good Luck.

Now the car is not working. Husband was driving brother home and they said it sounded like a belt or timing chain went. Sounded like a shirt flapping in wind. Could this cause any of those problems

It sounds like you lost your belt becuse the a/c clutch locked up? But don't know enough to tell exactly what the problem is.
