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.

    Hey there. Well it could be your compressor. Once the compressor starts to go out it will do exactlly what you stated your problem is. Basically theres a series of 10 pistons on the inside of the housing, and once those start to sieze and you turn on your A/C engaging all 10 pistons at the same time by way of the belt driven clutch you will feel a loss in power because now your compressor is slowing everything down instead of smoothly going with the flow of the other components. A failing compressor turning is like riding a bicycle while holding the brakes. So before you think you have to go and do some kind of engine work give the A/C system a once over. you also have to remember that the parts in our cars are almost 20 years old so failure of some them at this point is fairly common. Hope this helps.

    Peace,

          Which fan kicks on? Cause if it's cold and fine while moving then it could be the fan for the AC unless both fans work. Look at your condenser and see if you have small animals in there restricting air flow. Use a small flat head to pry it back to normal if it's bent up, as you would do with a radiator. Mine had a bird in it. It was gross.
