A/C will work fine and blow cold air during the morning or when it isnt very hot outside(85 degrees or so and below) When it has been sitting in the sun and the temp is 90 and above as it has been the last week or so the a/c will blow hot and will not get cold. The freon level is normal. Sometimes when driving down the road if the a/c is working it will go out and start to blow warm and give off a musty smell. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi bigc78,

Musty smell means the heater is in operations.

Check for air mix problem, like an out of adjustment air mix valve control cable.

Check the AC thermostat too.
