Its been heating up lately and my AC hadn't been working so that was my project this weekend. First thing I did was recharge the AC, which it definitely needed. I went and drove it around and after about 30 mins it stopped blowing cold air. I went back home and looked into a few things and went back in the car after about a hr and noticed it was blowing cold air again. So after some testing, it basically will blow cold for 30 mins or so and then blow whatever the ambient temp is. If I let it sit for about 30 mins or turn the AC off for 30 I get another 30 mins of cold air. Any ideas?

Sounds like a textbook case of excessive A/C clutch gap.

Alright figured it out it must be the clutch.

Thx for the reply, yea just read something that made it sound like that. I read some other stuff about the clutch and it didnt say what I just read, thats why I initially asked.
