Q: AC on high setting but not blowing as hard anymore
My ac has been working fine till today I started the car turned ac on high and noticed it's not blowing as hard as it always did, it's as if I have the setting on low. But when I push the gas pedal to drive it blows high again, soon as I come to a stop and let go of the gas pedal it blows low again. The air is still really cold. What could this be? Thank you
My car has an automatic transmission.
