So Summers coming around and my tC's A/C doesn't blow anything (during the day when its hot out) while I'm at a stand still or under 40 miles per hour (about 70+ degrees).
Once i get on the highway and away from stoplights it hits like 50-60 degrees. And at night I'm around 40 degrees rolling in the city .

Is it just my car or what? my 99 Camry ran ice cold all the time at a stop light or not.

Anything I can do?

Check page 5 for my solution.

you might have a leak

 

I think the A/C in tCs sux period. My 99 Rangers A/C is colder and blows harder. Shame on Toyota.

 

i had just got a new condenser and before i had the leak it was the same way. so its gotta be something else. my dad's got that tool to detect leaks and nothing went off when he was testing for leaks.

 

Many tC owners have complain about the weak A/C,
I don't think there are any thing dealership will do for it.
I have to turn the fan up in the city, and turn it back down on the highway.

 

damn so it is a known problem. and the worst part it summer is just starting. i haven't endured the worst or it yet.

 

Since you had the leak fixed, did you do an A/C recharge?

 

You've got that nice panoramic moonroof on the tC. open it up! Forget the A/C.

 

^ oh man, when its over 100 degrees over here, the last thing you want is the moonroof wide open--- it would be like cooking you while driving!

 

 

$20 A/C recharge kit from Wal-Mart. On the gauge, my wife's 5-year old Corolla had 10 more psi of refrigerant than my tC. So I filled mine up to the same pressure as hers (35psi instead of 25psi), and the A/C works brilliantly now.

 

There was another thread on this. I think you can find it if you search. There's something the dealer has to do or something in order for it to blow out cold air. I know it's stupid, but try finding the thread it may help. Gl man!

 

not good when u have the sun almost directly above u..

 

 

I heard that the 2nd gen xB blow ice cold A/C.. lucky B!tchs..

 

I test drove the RS3 and it was a hot day I turn on the A/C and it was blowing cold air while driving.

 

yeah mine works just fine...

 

my ac kinda suck too...even compared to my friend's civic and the corolla

 

well when you say recharge do you mean add more freon? my dad did that already if so and sun roof is good but i live in houston and it should be getting hot and humid soon. its not cali of here

 

Mine is ice cold and I live in the Az heat Just remember to close your sunshades, helps DRASTICALLY as well as having the car tinted.

On your issue, sounds like your low on 134 or your condenser fan is not working.
