Default A/C not working and problem with fueling

I moved to Arizona about a week ago, yesterday I was driving with the A/C on and it starting blowing hot air, then cold, then hot, and then it just went completely hot and my A/C stopped working. Do I need a recharge or is there a leak somewhere?

Also another question.. whenever I goto the gas station to fill up my tank, the pump clicks everytime I squeeze the handle and I have to hold it like an inch from the bottom for it to work. Would this be a bad check valve in the gas tank? Any ideas? Thanks

Default Where were you from?

Just an idea where were you from? Maybe the difference in altitude makes the pressure in the tank read wrong to the nozzle.. Give it time if it continues to do it are you filling up at the same gas station? Nothing in your car makes the nozzle click its the air pressure being pushed back into the gas nozzle that stops it.. Try a different station...

Oh and about the AC.. Can't really know whether its a leak or it needs recharged untill you do recharge it.. Mine is out too in my 99.5.. I use the all four windows and a sunroof ac though...

I had the AC problem also... I had the charge checked but it was fine and I was told it was an electrical problem. Ended up being a cut wire to the pressure switch (located under/behind right headlight). W/o the pressure switch the system will not work... So start there
