The air conditioning cools perfectly well only when the car engine is running at a speed a above 40 miles an hour Or when the car is stationary and the throttle is pushed above 2000 on the clock. Now, when the car is stationary or running at a speed below 40 miles an hour the air conditioning does not cool. In otknow yourds it blows hot air, even though the a.c indicating light comes on. The ac compressor does not received electrical contact when the car is idle or moving at a slow speed.

I have been told to change the throttle body for a further investigation to be carried out, as sometimes the problem can be from the throttle body. I have replaced my existing throttle body with a used throttle body, but that has not affected the way my engine runs. My engine sounds and runs quite well. I do not know what might he the cause of all these. Please, your help is required. Many thanks.

With regards to your ac problem it is either an issue with low refrigerant or the compressor is starting to fail.
