Hello,

I read through the existing A/C post but my issue seams to be a little different. The A/C clutch didn't engage so I swapped the A/C fuse and relay, didn't help. I checked the A/C fill port and it was well into the green. I depressed the valve on the charge port and only air came out. I released the air just to the lower red line of the recharge can and recharged the system. The A/C clutch engaged and it blew cold air.

A couple of days later I drove the car and it blew hot air again. I don't see any apparent leaks anywhere. I've yet to go back and check everything again. I'm not real knowledgeable with A/C, if there is a leak how is the system maintaining pressure? Just looking to see if anyone has experienced this?

Probably has a leak but diagnosing ac vie the web isn’t really possible and you will need some pretty expensive tools to fix it right. Better of to take it to a professional.
