In humid weather the evaporator will frost/freeze over and block the air flow until it has a chance to melt off. Maybe run the fan at a higher speed to melt the ice. Or use the recycled air button which uses cabin air that has been cooled and dehumidified already. So nothing is broken, and your A/C is running very strong.
No nothing is broken it works great and suddenly I don’t feel air blowing I shit it off keep driving get home shut the car off open the hood everything looks normal turn the car on and the AC on and it works normal super cold air.. that’s why I’m confused. Because when it happens the air is on but I don’t hear the Compressor on nothing it’s just on??

Get some gauges, high, low (blue/red) to determine what the system is doing. These are roughly $60 at harbor freight and will pay for themselves as soon as you buy them! So now what? Read some blogs on line. Your climate (temp and humidity) and type of system will yield different numbers, but expect the low side be 30 to 45 psi. High side 150 to 225. With the system off, both gauges will be very close to equal psi. Where gloves and protective glasses if you do this.
