2007 Toyota Camry — a/C is cold on the highway but warm at stoplights

The A/C works well with road speed but gets noticeably warmer at long lights, then cools again almost immediately once moving. Does that point more toward airflow/fan behavior than refrigerant level?

Log the conditions before you spend. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2007 Toyota Camry and see if the fault moves. Save the big job until that test fails. On “a/c is cold on the highway but,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2007 Toyota Camry and see if the fault moves. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Did the worksheet show tax yet? This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
