DryBear Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mine works, but I never use it. Heck, its on the "to be removed" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestFan Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mine works, but I never use it. Heck, its on the "to be removed" list.S So what you're saying is you have a good working compressor? Would you like to sell it to me? I have two compressors but I am pretty sure one is no good and the other has been sitting open for a good while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit1 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 mine just needs a charge, will be doing before summer gets here. why do you think your compressor is shot? is it frozen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestFan Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) mine just needs a charge, will be doing before summer gets here. why do you think your compressor is shot? is it frozen? My A/C worked after my dad charged it at his shop. But on my way back home when I turned the A/C on the car would surge so we figured it was overcharged. Since my dad lives 2 hours away I never checked it out and just kept driving with the windows down. Finally I took it to a shop here in town and they put the correct charge on it. It worked good for a few days but on one really hot summer day it just quit working completly. I Took it back to the shop and they could not figure out what was causing the clutch not to engage. It isnt froze up. We checked to see if it gets power and it does. Edited March 31, 2011 by YoungQuestFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 one really hot summer day it just quit working completly.

The Rabbit1 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 could be a bad low or high pressure switch(if equipped)? or overtemp switch(is so equipped)..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestFan Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Was the engine hot. Clt temp kill switch I do not believe it was hot when I took it back to the shop to have the clutch diagnosed. It is that compressor on my car right now that I am talking about if you want to look at it Phil. I have that upper hose, belt and the other compressor here at my house.

DryBear Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 S So what you're saying is you have a good working compressor? Would you like to sell it to me? I have two compressors but I am pretty sure one is no good and the other has been sitting open for a good while... Its still not out yet, hence its on my "to do" list, but if you still need it when I get around to removing it, I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 See that is what I was thinking. Anyone know if my 87 has such a switch? Mine is also converted to R134a The overtemp switch is located on the T-stat housing. Just ground the wire going to that switch. oh and my AC works.

UlrichWolf Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 My A/C has been repaired, however, as Maxzillian put it, it was more like a proof of concept, than an actual repair, LOL. Since then, one of the hoses has sprung a leak, and the system has lost it's refrigerant. Another hose, and another recharge....maybe it will work. I mean work well.

jmmy Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 mine doesn't.. the two middle ones either aren't doing anything, or blowing out heat. sometimes heat is coming from the foot wells. and the two outermost vents are always blowing out cool-ish air. POS auto air conditioning. one of the only things i hate about these cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 AC? you mean driving with the windows down right? I haven't had AC since I got the car but I DO have a compressor that is supposed to be good sitting here in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if that wire and that harness is completly gone? haha mine is MPI, Phinko pulled my stock harness or is in the process anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same answer. The harness isn't gone. You didn't remove the wires all the way back to the AC controls. Find it and ground it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
