Check out your heater control valve. Mine took a dump and would push out nothing but hot air. They are notorious for going out and when they do, they are stuck in the open position.

Thanks for the input...I will take a look at the heater control valve. Any thoughts on the thermostat? During the winter it is very slow to warm up. Could thermostat effect the HVAC system?

I pulled the heater control valve yesterday opened it up and it seems to be in good shape. It did not look to be shorted out, was clean and valves function well. The rubber gasket under the valves are in good shape so I gave it a cleaning and reconnected the part.
Still no AC....heat really doesn't work we either. The amount of air being pushed is good....its just not getting cold.
Your input is appreciated.
