A/C takes a while to get cool

[Spiderplow]

150k on my 2003, and have had issues in the past with the blend door, and I had the O rings on the EATC done in the past. But now the A/C does work, and blows cold, but it can take 10-15 mins before it cools down. Its only 65 degrees today, and summer is coming. Is this another EATC sympton or something else?

When's the last time you had the A/C recharged?

See your PM I just responded to.

Drain the remaining refrigerant by pusing on the bleeder with a screwdriver and add 38 oz. of R134a, following the instructions. It's easy.

A friend of mine is having the same issue..he said his a/c takes 10-15 mins to come on..what could be his problem?

Maybe your AC Condensor, Accumulator, AC Compressor, Orfice Tube and O Rings in the lines need to get checked. Then AC oil, vacuum and recharge the system.

I didn't vac mine and it works great.

I would try just adding a 12oz can of refridgerant....buy a can with a gauge and watch a YouTube video to do it. Make sure you dont overcharge the system. Its easy, you can do it

A/C Delete pulley! I have considered it in the past. Just joking kind of, i would take it to a shop. Since it gets cold eventually, I would say its not low on refrigerant. Probably something to do with the controls

When mine was acting like that, it was low on refridgerant, had a leak at the thing that dries the air(cant remember the name) leaks are notorious there because its wrapped with some sort of insulation, and the water/dew that accumulates there rusts the steel can out. Cost around $160, installed at a shop, evacuated, and a refill, to get me up and running again. If you find that its a leak, you should/must get the ac system evacuated after installing the new part, then put refridgerant back in it.
