It would also turn hot when you are heavy on the throttle like passing someone.

You've got a vacuum leak under heavy loads and it's switching the door flap in the vent system from hot to cold. Gerald S hit the nail right on the head.

Clicking noise could be the electro magnetic clutch on the air conditioner compressor cycling on and off,,or could be noise from worn belt. Also,,warning on this type of vehicle(unrelated) make sure you have the timing belt replaced every 80,000 miles or disastrous events will occur if the belt wears out,,,cost of new cylinder head and labour etc,,,$2,500 if you dont have this done in time. My lady friend just had hers done after the belt snapped,,she almost fainted dead away when she got the bill from the garage,,the belt costs only $75 and about a hundred dollars to install,,,but the cost of engine damage is severe.. sounds like the thermostat which controlls the air conditioner pump engageing is faulty,,,,but also could be loose drive belt,check for loose or broken wire at the pump head.

Its possible the evap temp probe is out of calibration and the evaporator is freezing up. It blows cold untill it freezes then blows warm till it thaws out. The clicking noise may not be related because the mode and temp controls are cable operated and the fresh/recirc door is vacuum controlled. Newer models have electric actuators which could cause the clicking noise. Your possibly hearing the a/c compressor click on.

It has a magnetic clutch that makes that noise. It sounds like you have either a bad servo (or a vacuum leak) to the door that controls the temp of the air coming out. Unless you're REALLY handy you will have to take it to the shop. The parts behind the dash are a pain to work on. The clicking noise is most likely your compressor cycling on and off.

Believe it or not, there is a cluth on your a/c. Open the hood of your car and turn on the a/c. You can physically see and hear the clutch working. It will stop and go intermittently. That may be your noise and the problem. That may be the clutch. Believe it or not, there is a cluth on your a/c. Open the hood of your car and turn on the a/c.

If something was blocking the way of it, or it isnt spinning properly it wouldnt blow cool air through and you would get nothing but hot pumping through your vents. This happened to me same as you are describing. I replaced the fan and cold air blew normally again. The clicking noise could be a problem with the fan.
