Sweet....OME time for sure.

Definitely going OME on this one

The AC is acting up though. The compressor kicks on and off every 5 seconds.

Check for loose connections on the low/high pressure switches and on the compressor first. Then move on to freon etc.

Probably a bag of coke in the evaporator...dibs!

Doesn't look like there's anything obviously wrong with it. When I start the AC, it runs and cools great for awhile, then after a few min, it starts shitting off and turning back on again. And the longer it runs the shorter the interaval between restarting.

Would it do this if some jack hole overfilled it, and it was turning off because of too much pressure after it runs for awhile?

High pressure switch. Could be over filled, or cond coil could be clogged up with bugs or bags of weed?

Is it reasonable to check the condensor?

 

[AlienXtx]

Wash it out real good, otherwise its overcharged of you have a restriction in the line.

I'm gonna say bad highpressure switch, my chevy has the exact same problem and I tracked it down to a bad highpressure switch.

Gracias. If it wasn't for the AC problem, and the fact that the CEL just came on this evening, I'd be buying a lift this week. I ordered a OBDII reader from amazon since it's about time I had one anyway. Pretty sure it's just going to be the stupid EGR valve, but I'll know for sure on Wednesday.

Just called to see how far they'd gotten on the AC. They asked if I had done my own work on it because the pressure was high, and there was air in the system,

Did you take it to Carlisle? and did you mention that any drugs/paraphernalia found in the car is not your property but you want it back to give to your buddy Brian

 

[drew02a]

Yeah, Carlisle is pretty much the only place I'd get AC work done

I guess they tossed a crack rock to someone to fix it! Tough to get good 'Crack' help!
