No argument there. In our case, the AC would not work in city (stop & go) traffic, but would work at constant highway speed.

After the fan was replaced, if I start the motor, turned the AC on max, the fan would start within 30-60 seconds, and the AC would blow cold. This is standing in my driveway.
