Why does your air conditioner only work for the first 3-5 miles and then stops blowing cold air Recharging the refrigerant did not help?

If the AC unit has a condensor check its pressure and make sure that it is working properly with the unit, I.E. condensing the warmer coolant quickly back to a useable form, otherwise recharging the refrigerant is pointless. Also, check your heater valve. It could be that your AC is working fine but when your vehicle gets warmed up then you're heating your nice cool air before you get a chance to enjoy it!

You do not recharge coolant, you replace it. If you are referring to refrigerant in the A/C unit, then first you need to have the leak repaired. It would not need recharging unless it is leaking. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system that is leaking without repairing the leak. This is a job for a professional with the proper tools and knowledge. This is not a DIY repair. The cost depends on where the leak is.
What would make the air conditioner blow cool air for a few minutes and then start blowing regular air -- usually after stopping or slowing down the speed of the car?
Something like that happened to me and it was the alternator so I had to change it. ----answer---- When your vehicle is moving, more air is being moved across the condenser, which in turn cools the refrigerant. Could be that the system is incorrectly charged. I would have that checked first.
What type of refrigerant does a 1994 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme air conditioner require?
It came from the factory with R12 Freon. Due to the high cost of R12, I suggest you convert it over to R134. Any good A/C shop can do this. Remember, it is illegal to release refrigerant into the atmosphere. It is also illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak without first repairing the leak.
