Ac blows cold then after 5 minutes, ambient.
So a few weeks ago I recharged my A/C. It was great for a few weeks and all of a sudden I turned it on during a hot day and it was immediately warm.
Now when I turn it on it's cold for a few minutes then warm. Never fails.
I've heard two diagnosis's,
Bad compressor
Bad pressure switch
Can anyone shed some light on this?

It could be either one of those things. However, when the system was recharged was it checked for leaks and recharged using the proper gauges? I suspect thet the refrigerant may have leaked out, or the system was over filled and now tripping the high presure switch when the ambient temp gets hot and the refrigerant expands.
