I am having the same problem, if you figure it out before me let me know!! ryanthaking@Yahoo.com. Thanks.
Have to determine what is causing noise - could be a bad compressor Have to determine what is causing noise - could be a bad compressor Have to determine what is causing noise - could be a bad compressor
Possibly a faulty high pressure switch. It would help to know exactly what it's doing, and also to measure the system pressures, as there could be a blockage in the system which is causing the pressure to read excessively.
Flow does not like the pressure gradient it sees going into the compressor and is therefore, more likely to separate (causing flow separation). Therefore, a more subtle increase in pressure through each stage is needed in the compressor. The turbine does not see this problem.
The compressor on my bus failed causing the emergency brakes to come on.
Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.
the a/c clutch is loose and is shorting out. the compressor and clutch must be replaced
O2 sensor/leaky injecters/fuel pressure regulator.
Hey Cort==The a/c compressor draws about 10 horsepower. At idle your engine is developing about 30 hp so you are taking about 1/3 of it for the compressor. You may have switch problems on the compressor causing it not to work in some positions. GoodluckJoe
That has to do with the a/c copmressor needing to be replaced. The odds are the compressor has probably seized. Because it is still connected to the belts driven off the engine ect, the sound you hear is the compressor being forced to turn. It's not actually working. Drive around with the a/c off until you get a new one.
First guess would be low on refrigerant, causing the compressor to quit running after a short period. Could also be a buildup of pressure in the system, causing the system to shut down. Also possible that the fan clutch or some assembly on the compressor only works for a short period. . .
A compression check is done to verify your piston rings have not failed causing blow by, can lead to, among other things, burning oil (bad cases cause bluish smoke to come out of the tailpipe). It is done by attaching a pressure gauge to your engine through the spark plug hole.
The ac could be causing the problem. Turn the ac off, and watch the compressor clutch to see if it is not engaged. If it is then the compressor or clutch could be bogging the engine down.
