I was driving home A/C worked fine, then the air started to get warm. The compressor kept kicking on and off. If i would be on the gas it felt like it stuttered. Never happened before so I am trying to fig. out whats wrong.

The stutter sounds like a drag on the accessory belt which could be a seized compressor.

Yep check belt/pulley for blue or other signs of high heat. Then you can jump the magnetic clutch to see if thats good. You may also have a refrigerant leak though that would explain the hot air, but with the refrigerant the compressor shouldn't come on at all.
