Sounds like a problem with the coolant temperature sensor or the wiring going to the sensor. If you have a bad connection and the computer loses the signal from the coolant temperature sensor the computer will assume that the engine is overheating. Because of this the air conditioning will be disabled and the computer may also speed up the idle to help circulation of the coolant through the cooling system. Is the check engine light or service engine soon light on? If so I'd suspect you have a coolant temperature sensor trouble code stored in the computer. Hope that helps! Jim

Sounds like your coolant temp sensor. Bad part, is in 06, Chevy changed the location of it from right above the thermostat, to passenger side of engine wayyyyy in the back. Pay someone to change it, I can't even get to it.
