Air Conditioning problem
1998 Saturn SC1 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

The car's air conditioning system is blowing hot air. We just put freon in the system but it still blows hot air. What could possibly be wrong? The compressor is working. You can hear it click on and hear it cycling. It gets so hot that we have to get this problem fixed. Can you please give us some idea as to why its blowing hot air? Thanks.
