Why Would your 1997 Toyota RAV4 air conditioning compressor suddenly stop engaging?
could be your a\c clutch in the compressor.?. or maybe pressure leaks.
Would a bad ac compressor make your car hold back on power?
If the a/c is working, it uses a lot of power(12-15hp) If the clutch is bad and not engaging, then the answer is No.(0hp) If the clutch is ok and compressor is starting to seize due to improper lubrication then Yes the power drain would be higher than normal.
Why would your compressor clutch be engaged when car is off?
AC Compressor clutch relay may be stuck. Remove the relay and see if the clutch releases.
91 Honda civic air conditioning compressor clutch turns on an off?
Assuming this is a factory installed a/c system and not an aftermarket one, there are several possibilities for the clutch engaging and disengaging. When the compressor cycles off, do both fans go off at the same time? The clutch and fans should work together in a properly operating system. The airconditioner routinely would cycle on and off in a good system to prevent the evaporator core from forming ice on the cooling fins and blocking airflow. If the clutch only cycles on and off and the fans remain running, a wiring problem say at the connection to the clutch or the thermal switch on the compressor itself may be defective. Another possibility is that the clutch coil is developing an "open circuit" but cycle times of the clutch engaging and disengaging would be fairly long. I'm sure there are more things that may cause your problem but these are good places to start looking.
What if your 1987 Chevy s10 clutch is not engaging how can you fix that?
If the clutch was not disengaging I would say the clutch master is empty of hydraulic fluid, this would be a result of a leak in the master or the slave cylinder. If the clutch is not engaging I would suspect the clutch disc has shredded in which case the clucth assembly would have to be replaced.

your clutch may not be fully engaging
Why does AC blow warm air had compressor replaced last year?
Clutch engaging/charged- (freon) I would check those things next. If you are low R12, you might have a bad o ring somewhere.
What would cause the ac compressor on an 87 YJ 258 cu in not to kick in without a boost from the battery first then it cycles fine?
if the gap between the clutch plate on the front of the compressor is too wide it will also have a hard time engaging. A/C clutch relay too weak to initiate current demand, clutch windings weak, poor ground or even inline diode (if equipped). When you jump start the compressor you are surging the wire windings which aligns the electrons (temporarily) so the next cycle requires less of a jolt.
Why would the air conditioning stop working when car stalled in pooled water?
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.
How do you check for a bad ac compressor on a 1998 contour?
To check for bad compressor, I don't have what it is or not doing but in most cases when the compressor is bad it will lock up, clutch will engage and burn the belts up! if that happens you may as well to take it down to a/c shop you can trust and have them do the repairs, the system has to be cleaned out some parts will need to replace, it won't be cheep! that's the worst case. what i would check for is, is the clutch engaging? is any seals leaking on the compressor? are the hose's in good shape? if it is doing nothing, it may just need to be charged.
What would cause AC compressor to not run on 96 sunfire - no blown fuses but no power on green wire to the compressor clutch?
Maybe the compressor clutch is not being sent power from the switch in the cab. I'd yank the panel out and have a look at the switch. FriPilot
Why does the AC compressor on a 2000 Malibu whine?
the Clutch is not fully disengaged. compressor might need to be replaced. I would bring it to the shop. Look at the Compressor and if u notice shavings then it has done its duty. If you do not want the AC anymore and want a cheap fix. Just go to a AC shop and get them to remove the clutch. the Clutch is not fully disengaged. compressor might need to be replaced.
