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.
Jump the compressor relay next to the fuse panel under the hood. Pull the relay out and use a piece of wire to jump the contacts. Compressor will engage, with the engine running fill with your 134a.
does it jump or fall? when you turn the ac on theac compressor engages. the ac wheel is always turning when the engine is started but when the ac is on the clutch plates in the wheel engage and the inside of the ac compressor turns an yata yata u get cold air. when the clutch plates engage the engine has to work a little harder to run the ac so the rpms change, and you mpg usually does to.
Do you mean that the AC clutch does not engage the compressor? Or do you mean that the AC compressor won't turn even if the clutch is engaged? If the compressor is siezed and will not turn even if the clutch is engaged, the only choice is to replace the compressor. If you can turn the compressor by hand (understand that the belt pulley will turn freely with the engine if the clutch isn't engaged) but the compressor clutch isn't engaging, it might just be out of refrigerant. There is a sensor, usually somewhere near the receiver/dryer) that detects the "low side" refrigerant pressure. Once the refrigerant pressure at the sensor drops below a specified level, the compressor will not turn on. In other words, if the compressor clutch won't engage it might just be out of refrigerant.
yes it is but you need to get it fixed . it could cause damage to your engine
When you engage the defroster you also engage the a/c compressor. If the engine needs a tuneup you could easily run into stalling problems. Check for vacuum leaks. New answer: YES he is right on all the above. Here's a good test to run to make sure that the a/c compressor is NOT LOCKING UP when you turn the defroster on, is to JUST remove the A/C belt and start it back up and turn the defrosters on. If it don't die then you need to replace the A/C compressor are just leave the belt off if you can. Sometimes you can't.
engine compartment, front down low on driver's side, sort of below the windshield washer fluid container. (behind radiator)
The large opening of the compressor sucks in air to be compressed and burnt in the engine.

The major function of the turbine in the turbojet is that it supplies the power to turn the compressor. An automatic fuel control unit on a turbojet engine is influenced by the burner pressure.
The torque converter and clutch are the point where the engine and the transmission engage.
