A/C temp fluctuates, & coolant bubbling & leaking out. please advise!!!!!

[bryan9097]

My a/c has always been doing this but it seems to be getting worse. When driving the car if I let of of the gas the a/c blows warm air, but as soon as I add throttle it begins to cool back down. I did search and found some that had a similar problem but did not see anyone with a solution.

Also, It doesn't happen all the time, but after driving my car (since I installed my DCR coolant overflow) it will bubble and sometimes flow out of the overflow tank. I saw where some had said it could be the head gasket blown. Would it do it all the time if the gasket was blown? Whats a good way to check the head gasket. I am not leaking any fluid into my oil or out of the block anywhere. please help guys, thanks, Bryan

Probably need an a/c recharge. Mine is doing the same thing haven't addressed it cause I hardly use it. But the coolant issue, gunna sound stupid but check your radiator cap. My overflow tank was bubbling really bad one day and I started to look around. The cap wasn't sealing properly and leaking out coolant little by little till there wasn't hardly any coolant in the system but the tank was full. That was my issue, so hopefully this help you a little bit. I think the new cap was like $4 at Murray's.
