ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    I suspect it is starting to get low on gas, which can cause that issue.


    Car Safety / General Servicing Checks --------Basic suspension checks

    My 5.7 LS1 Holden Ute

    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

      Id guess your getting low on refrigerant, and it could be leaking out. Your high or low pressure sensor is not seeing the pressures it wants (lack of refrigerant) so its shutting off the compressor (safe mode) and not generating cold air. And its doing it intermitantly so its on, off, on, off and so forth... If you have access to an a/c recharge system (or take it to a shop) have the refrigerant pulled out, note how much comes out (should be 32-34 oz i beleive). If its not, recharge it with the proper amount and put an a/c dye (leak finder) in it so when your having these problems again you can use a black light and find the source of the leak (thats only assuming you have a leak and your refrigerant isnt just low from evaperation, inproper charge, etc).

          Your not low on refrigerant lol. His a/c blows cold as fuck. Then as he starts driving it feels like it justs turns off. When you click the a/c button you dont feel the compressor kick in anymore.

            So what do you think the problem is? The first thing I would do is check for proper a/c charge.
