Sounds like too low an idle, dirty throttle body, dirty idle air control valve, or vacuum leak, could also be pcv valve. This will also occur when a compressor is attempting to lock up... www.acpartshouse.com
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
Engages and disengages the compressor clutch as needed.
Well, that depends on exactly how it's fluctuating. If it drops when the compressor clutch is disengaged and builds back up when the compressor clutch engages, that's normal operation.
The A/C compressor is clutch driven, when electricity is applied to a coil, it engages the clutch. Most likely the coil shorted out in the A/C clutch on the front of the compressor.
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.
The clutch is mounted on the front of the A/C compressor.
the clutch engages a compressor that goes on and off to keep a particular setting.for example if there is not enough freon in the ac the clucth will keep running and clicking on and off
There is a relay on the top of the compressor that allows the clutch to engage. Check to see if it is bad by removing the relay and use a wire as a jumper while the car is running to see if the clutch engages. If the clutch engages once the jumper is in place then the relay is bad it cost under twenty dollars to replace.
It's a cycling clutch compressor. It disengages to keep system pressure where it should be. When it reaches the high point, it disengages. Then it engages again when it reaches the predetermined low point.
It's supposed to. You have a cycling clutch compressor. When system pressure reaches a predetermined high, a sensor disengages the compressor clutch, and engages it back on when system pressure drops to a predetermined low point. What you're experiencing is normal operation.
The A/C Compressor may not be charged with frion if the A/C Clutch does engage, or it may not engage due to fact it's not sending 12v to the electronic wiring. First start the engine and turn on the A/C, watch if the clutch on the compressor engages or not.
The clutch has a bolt or nut in the center, connecting it to the compressor. After the nut is removed, the clutch can be removed by use of a gear puller.
