My air conditioner gets cold but it cuts out when I accelerate. The fan shuts slows down and sometimes shuts off completly until I let off the gas. What is wrong. Loose belt, bad a/c or electrical.

 

it is supposed to do that. all camaros and firebirds do, it sucks especially in 115 degree wether like in az. anyone know how to make it stop??

My Camaro does not do that not all Camaros do that!! Not sure what it is, sorry i could not help KEVIN

 

I decided to check things out myself. I took off the bottom part of my dash and looked around. I found what looks like different colored tubes or wires connected to round plastic boxes, look like they might be fans. I found one tube that wasn't on all they way so I pushed it back on. I did this with the rest off them. Now it works just fine. I hope that was the problem not just a coincedence. Hope this helps you guys. Later.

 

Theres also this a/c check valve on the pasenger side of the engine compartment. this controls the direction of the vents inside the car. If this peice developes a small crack in it depending on the temperature it could expand and loose pressure causing one of the symptoms above.

 

does everyone that has this problem have an auto.?

 

dude, it's not a problem with your a/c, it's a performance mod on your car that cuts out the a/c out wide open throttle. i bet if you lift the hood and have someone in the car on the gas. every time you hit wide open throttle the serpentine belt keeps spinning but the a/c pulley stops. don't be afraid. it's a performance thing. sorta like when people take out their a/c to take load off the crank pulley. i'm not sure which camaros have it. but my 97 30th anniversary camaro does it. and my 93 trans am doesn't.
