Weird Airmatic problem......

When it is cold outside, say under 50 degrees, my airmatic works fine and no problems. Above 50, I will get a visit workshop and the car starts to ride very firm like it is in sport 2. It will always raise up instantly, even with the visit workshop on, and never sags or drops, even after a few weeks of sitting. New relays in and new rear distribution block. Checked the front block,(did the soapy water test), and looks fine. My local Stealer will just slam you for a basic visit. I can't get out for under a grand, even for changing wiper blades! Any ideas are appreciated.
