I am a new subscriber because I did change the compressor in my 2008 mazda NC miata.I researched yutube and your analysis is so accurate, same issues not cold on idle speed but cooler on driving speed.Changed the compressor and Bingo, very cold now even on idle 30 degrees now its freezing cold using ozone friendly natural gas refrigerant from eBay. And this also the first time I replaced compressor.The last time 10 years ago I was scammed by a Honda dealership here in Lancaster charged me $2300 for the same a.c. job on my honda civic and still did not do it right I have to return 2nd time for them to fix it and come to find out my evaporator is bad.What a bunch of Scammers in the service department.So I tried all DIY job on all my cars since then.
Very helpful. Had the same issue--temp fluctuating up and down as i drove and/or idled at lights. This was very helpful to understand the issue and confirm the diagnosis from the shop. Thank you!
To my understanding, yes. Just ran into a misfire when the ac was running. Turned the car and ac off and let it sit for a couple minutes before going home for an hour drive. Ac wasn't running and we didn't run into any issues on the way home, check engine light even turned off when I started the car with no AC on
My 2010 Camry has a knocking/rattling sound when compressor is on. Sound goes away when just the blower on. Ac is ice cold. I was told compressor and ridiculous price, but after a few videos I'm wondering if it is just a pulley or clutch assembly? Thoughts?
I just received a recall notice and warranty extension from Honda re: AC compressor shaft seal leak. Did you get a notice as well? It is dated June 2023. Covers 2016-2021 Civics and 2017-2022 CRVs for original owner and any subsequent owners.
I'm sitting in my car thinking my compressor was bad so I looked it up here on youtube and I saw you vid and it looked like you were going to get straight to the point which you did and actually showed my exactly what I was just doing parked. My baby has the same symptoms. So I think you for sharing that. 08 Rabbit 2.5
I need a little help with my 2006 Honda civic. Got the car used with no AC. I tried fixing it by replacing ac condenser, evaporator coil, and receiver dryer. I didn't replace the ac compressor. Charged it up, it was somewhat cold but not freezing cold. This was 3 years ago. Now the AC is blowing cool but not cold air. I thought maybe there was a leak but there's pressure in the lines. I added a little more freon, it got a little cold at that time and next day, it was blowing cool air only. So maybe i got a weak or bad ac compressor, what do you think? Everything else there was replaced not too long ago. I think I'll replace the ac compressor because i can't figure out what else could be wrong with it. The AC compressor clutch is fine.
Is increasing strain on the engine(almost to the point it stalls)when the compressor kicks on a sign it's going bad. For some reason my car automatically kicks on the compressor(even when it's cold and the heat is on) when I turn on my front defroster,so it's not even running the ac,but still putting a noticeable amount of strain on the motor. I plan on keeping the car forever as it's 27yrs old and the model is becoming a more and more scarce,and it's something that's always happened so idk if it's normal,but it's more noticeable than on any other car I've ever had
Good Day Sir, every time I expose the car in the Sun for longer period of time, and decide to drive. The aircon cause a strange sound and not releasing the cold. What's the cause of that problem?
How do you know when to change just the compressor or the whole system? I've been told and seen on YT once the compressor goes bad fine metal particulate contaminates the system an will continue to blow through the evaporator, condenser, etc and will quickly blow back into the compressor and ruin the new one.
@Nimble KIlla just drove my car to L.A. for the week and car died. It was a faulty battery and it fried my alternator. Changed both and car runs like normal. Still have the sound which I think is coming from the compressor but will look at it sometime this week.
If the pressure switch is faulty would the out cover plate still spin with the pully whether the air-con is on or off as I can't hear the compress clutch clicking?
Hey thanks for the info working on my car notice the clutch is short cycling the freon is good pressure switch is good but the clutch keep cutting off and on to soon could it be the coil is going bad
wait so how would you know the difference between a stuck expansion valve issue vs a bad compressor. in essence I would assume both would show on the ac gauge that the low pressure is too high and that the high pressure is too low (I might be wrong). but it that were the case how would you know which one is the issue? there's a big difference money wise to replace an expansion valve vs replacing an ac compressor. also I've heard that when you replace an AC compressor you have to replace the condenser, dryer and possibly the expansion valve. is this true or do u perform an AC flush to rid the system of metallic particles. I have a Hyundai Sonata 2013.
So weird! my 2016 Off Road, 4x4, all of a sudden just shut off. (green ac light went off and stays off). When I push the AC button on, I can hear it run then it shuts off, green ac light goes off. I checked the fuse and the replay, they are working properly. I had a friend come over and he said the compressor is running which is good news, however, he then assumed the refrigerant its empty so he was going to add freon but, his gage says the freon in full. That is where we are confused. Also its the 1234y NOT the usual 123A. Any insights? I want to sell this truck but I need to get this fixed first. We live in Florida. We do NOT have the $$ to have it serviced or even diagnosed at a local toyota dealership, they are way expensive. Just installed new air cabin filter, it was atrociously bad, but that hasn't fixed it at all. ???Help??? MIGHT be a bad pressure switch>?? Praying mine if NOT behind the firewall.....ugh!
My car hose was leaking I plugged all the holes up but I see the Freeon come out near the fan area as soon as the fan starts is that a compressor or a bad fan
Mine seized up on my 2013 F150 5.0 finally. Snapped the belt in the process. Luckily that belt only runs the ac system pulleys and the other belt runs the water pump and alternator so I can still drive it.
@Nimble KIllaI'm still driving mine just fine. I removed the a/c belt completely and just keep all my windows down when I'm driving for cooler air. Lol. Not wanting to spend $300+ for a new compressor kit at the moment.
I have a question? We recently put a new battery in our 2004 Toyota Sienna and now there is a clicking noise coming from under the hood when we turn on the A/C. WHAT could THAT be?!
Hey I have a Toyota 2008 Yaris My compressor colds at idle But when driving it get warm I’ve changed the control valve and expansion valve.. still having the same problem. Help! Thanks.
I have a 2008 Accord V6 coupe. Air was blowing hot compressor not kicking on, checked fuses and relay all good jump started my compressor thru relay added some freon compressor started working. I put the relay back in and finished charging the a)c then I noticed a hissing coming from the high pressure hose,it was leaking around where the metal went into the rubber part. I ordered one and waiting on it to arrive. Is this common? Could there be other issues to cause this part to fail? It worked fine last year, noticed this the first time I used it this year.
I have the same issue with my accord v6 bro. when I recharged my ac it was making hissing sound like empty can type noise. and I kinda saw it bubble where u add the Freon in. I’m not sure if it’s a leak on the needle or what. Did u end up fixing ur problem ?
I have this Honda Brio amaze and air is not cooling during Idle, only when the car is running or giving it a rev. what do you think I should replace? both Compressor and condenser?,. thank you,.
my exact problem thanks man hey what brands should i stay away from i need a new compressor and thinking of getting a piston upgraded from a rotor style on my 2006 mazda 3 2.3 l ????
Hi. I HAVE MUSTANG ECOBOOST 2017 american car. I am using it in dubai. I have AC problem. AC gets hoter as I drives. It cools better when i stop the car or release ACCELERATOR. I tool the car to many workshop and they still couldnt diagnose the problem. As I take the car to workshop it works perfectly. Sometimes they checked the pressure and said that the gas is more and released gas. The gas pressure increases and the compressor stops working. One of the technician told me that this could be problem with thermostat and they have to replace the thermostat which is a long procedure as they should dismantle the entire dash board. Some people say that the compressor might be bad and all. I am not able get a proper solution for the same. Could you please advise me what could be the problem?
I pulled a vacuum for 30min, added the recommended freon now it is whining badly and it actually slows down the car or robbed a lot of power when the compressor kicks in
I have a 1994 Chevy pickup and behind the pulley on the compressor its showing some green bubbles. Will a leak repair stop it or do I need another compressor?
See my thing is, my a/c works fine. But when I do have it on there’s a whistle that repeatedly goes in and out consistently. Do y’all know what it can be? Maybe a belt tension or serpentine?
My car a/c not working properly. And cooling fan working at high speed. If I pour some water on condenser start cooling. Car is Toyota Corolla 2013 model. Variable displacement compressor. Compressor takes delay for getting on even I switched on a/c. Please tell me the possible fault Thanks JOHNY Dubai
My compressor stays on, it keeps truck kinda cool in 95f outside, but anything below 85f outside it’s pretty cold in the truck. Freon is full, gauge is where it should be. Sometimes gets wArmer then cold while driving. Coolant is full but pretty dirty, is that a big problem? Any help?
My car sounds like the belt is bad or ac compressor is going bad! Its cool and stays cool just loud noise under hood like a bad belt or compressor going out
Did you get the warranty extension from Honda on this issue. Ours was just received in the mail today. Covers 2016-2021 Civics and 2017-2022 CRVs. Original and / or subsequent owners. They will also reimburse for any repairs related to this as long as it meets the reimbursement requirements.
Checked the AC on my GF 2004 Toyota Corolla that was blowing hot air. The magnetic clutch doesn't engage / spin on the compressor. With the AC turned on the fan under the hood doesn't spin. Checked the AC relay by swapping it out with the horn relay, horn didn't work, AC relay was bad. I replaced the AC relay but it didn't fix the problem. The fan still doesn't spin and the magnetic clutch on the compressor doesn't engage / spin. Not sure what to do and can't really afford going to a mechanic (they quoted me $125 just for the diagnostic).
Sometimes a simple thing as compressor connecter can stop a compressor , I told mechanic can you check connecter, he said it is broken and fixed it and it worked
My system is only giving static pressure 45psi on both high and low side. With the car on and compressor engaged, there is no movement on the gauges. While the compressor seems to be the most likely culprit, I hear that a stuck open expansion valve can show the same symptom. Is there any way to troubleshoot this further without swapping out parts?
That’s exactly my problem. Standing still blows hot air but driving is ok. Could blow colder I’m sure. I suspected it’s the compressor and it seems I guessed right by your explanation.
Hi I don't really use my ac much now but the compresser is making noice and car seams to have problems with something not working right when in gear like break is stuck but it's not? 98 buick
My chrysler 300 just stopped giving cold air a couple months ago so i stopped using the ac then on of my fans in the front started smoking and i replaced that now when i turn my ac on it doesnt get colder still but when i turn it off it makes a really loud noise on the compressor is there a way to fix this or do i need a new one
You need a new compressor. The clutch is starting to lock up, and it will tear up your belt. You need the belt to run the alternator too, so get your ac compressor replaced.
I got a 2006 Silverado sometimes it blows ice cold then it stops after awhile I’ll go inside a store come back out turn truck back on and go and I’ll turn ac back on and works fine again but then stops after awhile and it’s rare but some times it stays cold till I arrive where ever I’m going even if I’m on the freeway or stop and go traffic I could leave the truck in the sun when it’s 107 degrees out sides and will now ice cold then stops any advice where I can fix the problem
Most likely a bad compressor but you should probably check for leaks cause you might have blown a seal which is typically easier to fix than changing out compressors
brother you helped me a lot! I was wondering why on regular idle my ac was sort of cutting off and only blew warm air, but when i'm cruising at 60/70 mph it would feel like ice just incredible. Thanks so much for this basic simple info. I'm off too change my AC compressor.
yes, if it is setup with a low pressure switch. would start by visually looking for leaks on the system (usually they will leak some oil as well which may have a green dye in it) then, using proper gauges to check the pressure and adding some charge if needed to get the pressure high enough to close the switch.
i replaced my radiator, water pump and thermostat and with the system getting bled the ac still doesn’t run as cold as it should. i brought it to a local shop and they fixed the problem initially. 38 degrees it got to. til about a week later i started to notice it would only get really cold when i would get on it at higher speeds, then eventually get warmer but still kind of cold. not 38 degrees cold but around 60. would this be a ac compressor failing? no leaks from what i could tell while it was being worked on and like i said it was fixed for about a week.
The problem am having with my ac is. Sometimes it get cold and get hot by it self and get cold and hot again. Is not stable at all. Just get hot and cold while driven
I have a 05 Mitsubishi Galant just got dryer put on and compressor I was having the same problem but now ac went out again and freon was blowing through my vents and had a burning smell. What could this be
HI. i recent purchased a car sight unseen and noticed that theres a lot of brown dust around the ac compressor clutch. The cooling appears to be fine in the car at the moment, but I'm curious if this is a sign of a previous issue or just normal wear. Thanks!
I have the exact same issue and pressure reactions as shown in the video. The air is cool but not cold. Since this new compressor is not seized do I need to replace the condenser? I just replaced the condenser six months ago. I have had this issue from day one with this new compressor.
Just wondering what you think the problem is. So when my truck is in park or stop at a light the A/C blows cold. But as soon as I start driving it blows hot. The clutch looks like it's working but I'm not sure.
Mine works, i just recharged it put in one 12oz can, it blows cold air now…might need another can, but clutch was coming on every 7-10 seconds, but it makes a ratteling noise?? Just had a new compressor like 6-7 years ago. I put in freon till the green pop up thing stayed ip when compressor was on…then i checked an it was blowing cool air, but the clips didnt turn color?? See how long it works i guess??

Hope you got back on the road quick! Mine makes an awful noise so I don’t use it, I don’t need it freezing up and break my serpentine belt. 😬
You turn it off and the engine unstalls.
Good way to tell

That’s exactly what’s going on with mine!!! Thanks. It slowly got worse over a period of a few weeks now nothing.
Would any body else have like a burning smell???
Now my AC turns on and listening fan turns on has a right amount of refrigerant but I still get warm air any ideas
What was it? Thermostat?
Hi can a bad ac compressor cause rough idle, misfires and poor engine performance also??
To my understanding, yes. Just ran into a misfire when the ac was running. Turned the car and ac off and let it sit for a couple minutes before going home for an hour drive. Ac wasn't running and we didn't run into any issues on the way home, check engine light even turned off when I started the car with no AC on

could a bad belt causing belt slippage cause this same syptoms as well?
That is my question aswell??
Mine never gets cold. It blows well but only warm air. The gauge says I have coolant. Should I change the compressor?
Yes that's what happened to me
check that your compressor clutch is going on and off..... go from there
What about when the ac is running cold? But there's smoke coming from under the hood?

Would this have any reason as to why my car won’t start after I replace the AC?
So if the temperature doesn't fluctuate the compressor is still ok?
Do I need to replace the condenseur if I replace the ac compressor ?
Ac and heat only work on high. What's the problem?
Very helpful. This is the exact problem my compressor is doing. When foot on the gas the compressor starts to do its job. Thank you for this video.
How do you know when to change just the compressor or the whole system?

@@mr.raiders70293 years later...what happened
How will it differ from low refrigerant? it should produce similar situation in either case.
If the pressure switch is faulty would the out cover plate still spin with the pully whether the air-con is on or off as I can't hear the compress clutch clicking?
Reeds in the comp are allowing the high psi hot gas to return to the low side giving a high suction psi.
I also get a strange sound when i initially turn the ac on alongside not blowing as cold on idle. Cheers think you figured it out for me

My chrysler 300 just stopped giving cold air a couple months ago so i stopped using the ac then on of my fans in the front started smoking and i replaced that now when i turn my ac on it doesnt get colder still but when i turn it off it makes a really loud noise on the compressor is there a way to fix this or do i need a new one
You need a new compressor. The clutch is starting to lock up, and it will tear up your belt. You need the belt to run the alternator too, so get your ac compressor replaced.
Great video. Really liked the graphics of the compressor and of the AC tool. Thanks
On my ford ranger wen try turning on my ac i get warm air and the clutch just goes on and off repeatedly do i need to just get a new compressor
Y cant the compressor be repair instead of replaced?
Because they have to be pulled out for it to be repaired
I got a 2006 Silverado sometimes it blows ice cold then it stops after awhile I’ll go inside a store come back out turn truck back on and go and I’ll turn ac back on and works fine again but then stops after awhile and it’s rare but some times it stays cold till I arrive where ever I’m going even if I’m on the freeway or stop and go traffic I could leave the truck in the sun when it’s 107 degrees out sides and will now ice cold then stops any advice where I can fix the problem
Greetings, there was a loud noise while driving then no cool air. What could it be?? Compressor??
Most likely a bad compressor but you should probably check for leaks cause you might have blown a seal which is typically easier to fix than changing out compressors
@@MikeY-nh2we Thanks for the info 👌🏾
Can it overheat the car?
brother you helped me a lot! I was wondering why on regular idle my ac was sort of cutting off and only blew warm air, but when i'm cruising at 60/70 mph it would feel like ice just incredible. Thanks so much for this basic simple info. I'm off too change my AC compressor.
Did the new fix the problem?
Can low Freon cause the compressor to not work also?
yes, if it is setup with a low pressure switch. would start by visually looking for leaks on the system (usually they will leak some oil as well which may have a green dye in it) then, using proper gauges to check the pressure and adding some charge if needed to get the pressure high enough to close the switch.
My truck will shut off when ever i turn my ac or defrost on, any advice?
What sound was the car making? Was it making a whining noise?
Probably lose belt is all
i replaced my radiator, water pump and thermostat and with the system getting bled the ac still doesn’t run as cold as it should. i brought it to a local shop and they fixed the problem initially. 38 degrees it got to. til about a week later i started to notice it would only get really cold when i would get on it at higher speeds, then eventually get warmer but still kind of cold. not 38 degrees cold but around 60. would this be a ac compressor failing? no leaks from what i could tell while it was being worked on and like i said it was fixed for about a week.
Is it true that the PCM controls the the AC compressor and will shut it off when you're accelerating to free up our power?
My car's ac kinda fluctuating. Its cold when switched On and kind turn hot when I accelerate the speed
The problem am having with my ac is. Sometimes it get cold and get hot by it self and get cold and hot again. Is not stable at all. Just get hot and cold while driven
did you fix it?
That sounds like the orfice tube or expansion valve
I have a 05 Mitsubishi Galant just got dryer put on and compressor I was having the same problem but now ac went out again and freon was blowing through my vents and had a burning smell. What could this be
Can I still drive the car with the bad Ac compressor
HI. i recent purchased a car sight unseen and noticed that theres a lot of brown dust around the ac compressor clutch. The cooling appears to be fine in the car at the moment, but I'm curious if this is a sign of a previous issue or just normal wear. Thanks!
Could bad compressor and/or clutch or pulley cause humming noise without air running?
What does a compressor cost for that Toyota.
I have the exact same issue and pressure reactions as shown in the video. The air is cool but not cold. Since this new compressor is not seized do I need to replace the condenser? I just replaced the condenser six months ago. I have had this issue from day one with this new compressor.
Please answer me this question is it normal for the AC compressor to kick on and off within 10 or 15 seconds?
Just wondering what you think the problem is. So when my truck is in park or stop at a light the A/C blows cold. But as soon as I start driving it blows hot. The clutch looks like it's working but I'm not sure.
Did u figure your xblem mine does the same alredy change condenser n valve but still doing same
More than likely a vacum leak
My ac blows air out while I’m driving and I have it on 0 and when I break or stop it stops blowing air
Mine works, i just recharged it put in one 12oz can, it blows cold air now…might need another can, but clutch was coming on every 7-10 seconds, but it makes a ratteling noise?? Just had a new compressor like 6-7 years ago. I put in freon till the green pop up thing stayed ip when compressor was on…then i checked an it was blowing cool air, but the clips didnt turn color?? See how long it works i guess??
