I have a 2004 pontiac sunfire. For the past couple of months the air conditioner only blows cold air when the car is in motion. If I am at a red light or parked it blows scorching hot air. Over this past weekend I noticed also that when I am idle the temp gauge steadily goes up until the car starts moving again and it then returns to normal? Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem and are the 2 related?
 
Your A/C most likely needs charged and hopefully doesn't have a leak in the system.
Also I believe you have the Orange Dex Cool antifreeze (my girlfriends 97 Sunfire does) Which needs to be flushed and changed every 5 years. Get a thermostat while your at it it's only like $10 more dollars and is due also.
