AC Broken?

Ok so today i was driving with the sunroof open and decided to turn off the AC. Well, im driving for awhile when i noticed that air was still blowing out of the vents? WTF! Is it supposed to do that? I did notice that at a complete stop, air wasn't blowing out as hard, but when i was going like 40mph it felt like the AC was on half the power fan. Whats wrong with my car? Any help?

Thanks
Charles

If you don't have the recycle on....air will flow through the vents freely. BTW, since your sunroof was open...it'll a lot more air into the car to be circulated.

With the sunroof open you're creating quite a vacuum inside the car - the air behind the vents is trying to "fill the gap" so to speak.

yes..u didn't turn on the recycle button on...air can still come in while driving...

once u turn it on..it stops the fresh air from coming in...
that's why when u r at a stop...no air comes in..
but when u drive faster...the flow of air increases
