Hey Scotty I currently have 2008 Lexus is250 awd. Just recently I replaced the ac compressor on the car. At first it was blowing out cold and now a couple off days later it blows out lukewarm most of the time and makes the car idle pretty bad do you have any idea why?

Probably refrigerant leaked out somewhere, maybe an O-ring was clipped when installing the compressor? What are the high and low system pressures with the compressor running? Also, had the old compressor seized up? If so that contaminates the AC system with metal shards and most components need to be replaced or the new compressor can be destroyed. Also, was the replacement compressor new or rebuilt? The latter have a bad reputation for premature failure.
