Default sounds like your blower is off/dead or need a recharge or have a leak
more details are required. How does it "not work"

Default how it does not work..
when the car is moving i can hear the compressor engage and it blows cold when the car is idle the compressor turns off thus just blowing air. thanks for your help.

Default Hmmm could be a bunch of things...
What does your OAT sensor read when idle? Does the A/C fan come on in your radiator?
