i have this basic problem as well, but i have a 2000xj auto 4.0 and for a year my a/c blew cold, it got hot and the a/c blew cool air, took it in to get the freon filled and dye added, it blew cold for maybe a month, we got another series of hot days, now its blowing cool, i havent taken a temp reader to it yet but its not as cold as it used to be, it may have been the 105degree day in an SUV but i want my a/c to run right.
i was going to take it to a shop on monday to see where it's leaking, but as luck has it, i got a ticket last night(not in my xj thou) so now i gotta worry about paying that first and taking traffic school so it can get removed from my record.
have you got your a/c problem resolved yet?
update: so i went outside right now(97 degrees with 20% humidity), turned on my 2000 xj and my 2005 honda civic i let them run with the a/c on high for a good 3-4 minutes to let them cool down the cabin the jeep had the upper hand i had a sun screen up on both the front windows and door windows so the cabin was considerably cooler from the start, ANYWAYS, i used my temperature gun i used to use for my gas RC truck to check the termperature of the air coming out of my vents in both my cars, i checked my honda and its between 60-70 degrees depending on what spot i read from. 60 degrees being the coldest spot on my vents. but on the other hand my XJ was reading between 80-95 degrees. with again 80ish being the coldest spot on my a/c vent. their both running R 134, the jeep just got serviced less than a month ago and the hondas never been serviced. so obviously theres a leak somewhere. im just hoping this time my mechanic finds the problem when i go to take it in....
