My air conditioning cycles through blowing cool air and slightly warmer air much like yours. I think it's normal. The cabin seems to be comfortable though. All of my Honda's have never had real strong air conditioning. My Jetta was so cold my glasses would fog up as soon as I got out of the car even on short trips.

it's normal... the compressor is not engaged 100% of the time... and at WOT, the compressor disengages.

Mine does the same thing also! I thought it was really weird. I've owned nothing but Honda's and this is the first car I've seen do this.. atleast this drastically. I have a friend that is a lead mechanic at a local Honda dealership here and I'm going to ask him if its normal or not. I don't like to bring my car in and leave it in someone elses hands unless I absolutely have to!

My air runs the same way. Cool then not so cool then cool again. I don't think this is a problem. I think this is the way the a/c cycles as others have mentioned. I was worried at first. This is the first Honda I've owned to operate this way.

I realize this is a very old posting but wanted to chime in... I have a 2007 and mine, too, does this. My only guess is Honda has the compressor kick down/off to reducse power consumption from the engine, especially on WOT. Kind of makes sense, but I'm not technical.
