I just had my a/c recharged and everything seemed fine untill I was headed back home from work. When the a/c started to smell and not blowing cold air I noticed my temp. needle was on the RED. So, I pulled over and waited about 15-20 minutes for it to cool down. I jumped back on the freeway without running the a/c and the car did not overheat.
This morning I did not run the a/c at all but my needle was going over the "L" (NORMAL) and getting very close to the RED and then coming back down between the A and the L.
Does anybody have any idea on what it is that I should be looking into?
I am on a very tite budget and would have to do the work my self.
One more thing, I have not been using the a/c for about 2 years, yesterday was my first time and never had any problems before with it overheating.
Thank you.
