ok so this morning i turned my car on everything was cool...waiting till the car was warm i then turned the a/c on...then everything was not cool.

My car started shaking a little and had a horrible noise comming from the engine bay! So i turned the a/c off and the noise went away! Cool! So i tried again; i did this over and over for a bit and then decided that i would leave it on and see if the noise would increase or diminish over time. ....

Needless to say the sound diminished when i heard a pop and a hissing noise! I pulled over popped the hood and couldnt see anything!? I checked the reciever/dryer and that was cool as well!?!? there are no loose fitting lines and or hoses that i can see from the top of the motor.

The car runs smooth and fine the only thing is the a/c doesnt blow cold air so im about 99.99% sure its the a/c. but what the hell is it? has this happend to anyone before? i searched and found a bunch of people with a/c issues but nothing like this?

any info would help me so i know where to look when i get home and diagnose the problemo. car is a 2000 s2k

thanks guys i appreciate it.

 

probably blew the pressure valve and it released all your refriagerant. if you don't know how to do it, then I wouldn't recommend anything less than a dealer or good a/c shop

 

i didnt plan on doing anything myself trust me...its hot as F'ing heck outside im not going to do any of my own work in the summer here, lol.

is there anywhere i can check to verify that its that and nothing more,? i just dont want to get the run around when i bring it to a shop.

thanks

 

compressor or clutch may be the culprit.
