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.

Yes, put a set of AC gages on the system to determine the status of the refrigerant system!!---if No then that would be my first step.

Yes you will have to put your hand in your pocket if you do not have a set of gages and the knowledge to read the results!!

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

You did not indicate that in your original post---so every one can learn, how and what was the H and L bar---very interesting!!

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.
