A/C Output temperature
I did a search on the forum. But didnt see this same issue:
Vehicle: 1998 LS400 with 155K miles
Anyone ever measure the A/C outlet temp at the dash vents? It was brutally hot yesterday in VA. Temps in the mid 90's and 90% humidity. I have a fairly accurate temp probe throughout my other vehicles to measure the temp. I took the reading at the hottest part of the day around 5-6pm and it read 50 deg F.
Not sure if its a fair comparison but our other two vehicles (97 & 06 Honda Odyssey) both read 40 deg F. at that same time of day.
thanks

As the days become warmer, the A/C system has to overcome the temps. The newer cars tend to be able to blow cold immediately where older tech may take a bit. Ours doesn't get to good temp for about 4-8 minutes of running and that varies with ambient temps. Once it is cold, it is cold.
I have reply buried among one of the threads that had a similar question. I don't recall the exact temp off hand.

Humidity has a lot to do with the cooling effect.
Use your key fob to lower you windows and open the roof to let the hot air out. After 30 secs, close them. That will help cool your car more quickly.
Also, use a reflective windshield shade, and tinted windows.
