JakeMetz63 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I finished the swap of my 97 LQ1 into the 94 GTP and we got everything working perfect, except the AC. The system holds the "Freyon", but it wont click on. Anybody have this problem before? All the accessories to the engine were from the 94, just the engine is 97. Any ideas?

jeremy Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 the compressor might have a bad clutch or you could have a bad relay. does it kick on if you "jump" it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Are you positive the system as pressure? The compressor won't turn on if there isn't enough freon in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeMetz63 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I havnt checked what jeremy said yet, but it does have pressure. The freon level was what was reccomended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo231 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 If you are looking for the compressor to cycle on and off, it won't. It will either engage or not be engaged as, at least on my 93 LQ1, it is a variable pressure compressor which in layman's terms, it runs all the time pumping what it needs to keep the system up. You can ohm the clutch contacts on the compressor and see if there is a resistance there...next, check to see if its getting the signal to close...if it's not, find out why it's not getting a signal. What drives the system?...probably pressure sensors on the AC side...so check them, etc...I'll let others explain that logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Turbo231, on my car, when you turn the A/C on and off, the center of the A/C compressor will actually click and spin and then stop spinning, so I think he should be looking for it to start spinning. Is the center of the A/C compressor spinning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the center of the A/C compressor spinning? I was making the assumption he had the AC on. With the AC off, you're right, the compressor does not spin...if the AC is on and running, the compressor should spin. My S-10 and others, the compressor will cycle all the time(with the AC system working and set to cool) on and off as the system requires pressure or not. My GP will keep the compressor engaged and just vary it's output, with the AC on and set to cool. I personally am always set to cool.

JakeMetz63 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 nothing would spin when I turned the AC on was what I was trying to say. Im just not going to worry about it untill it gets warm out again, ive got too much shit going on with classes starting and having to move it, I dont have any tools on campus to fix it anyways. Thanks though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 An overcharged system will sometimes cause the compressor not to run too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitcor Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 An overcharged system will sometimes cause the compressor not to run too. seriously? My Compressor isint turning on either, its about 1lb over on the blue (low?) side. I checked the relay and the connector, the compressor is getting power and has a good ground. Would the high pressure on one side prevent the clutch from engaging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
