AC Issue - 1992 400E

My AC works fine until I have to accelerate rapidly. Then it blows warm air and doesn't come back on for about 20 minutes. Does anyone have any familiarity with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Plutoe, but I already checked the refrigerant level and it's good.

I checked it by getting a bottle of refrigerant with a gauge on it from a local parts store and hooking it up to do a recharge. Gauge was in the green.
