compressor

So I picked up a 1993 Explorer XLT 4x4 without functioning air conditioning. The compressor clutch won’t engage at all when the AC is pressed. Here is what I have troubleshot so far. 1. The system was near empty so I charged it up to full with coolant. 2. Tested for leaks, and there are none...

Hello! I am at my wit's end with this problem! I've taken it to two mechanics. I know one has replaced the tensioner and serpentine belt., The other said he did... I'm not so sure he really did. AC compressor, condenser, and flow (something) were changed under an extended warranty at a local...

2004 Explorer XLT 4.0 v6 with 200,000 miles Air conditioning has been working fine, car is working fine. A few days ago I get home from work and shut down the engine and I hear what can only be described as a fan being slowed down with a piece of cardboard, noise is coming from under the hood...

Hey everyone, Happy Thanksgiving! I've been using this site since 2009, luckily my 97 Sport hasn't been problematic. This is an A/C issue...the cold-hot knob does nothing on my Explorer. If you move it to full heat and put the selector knob on Max AC it comes out the vents ice cold... however...

So, the air conditioning on my V6 blows room temperature, I turned the AC on max with fan all the way up and temperature all the way to cool with AC on and I noticed that the compressor never engages, so I'm pretty sure that's bad. Over the summer I'll be looking into getting the AC up and...

So im trying to get my ac going. From the start of troubleshooting i manually spun the compressor to make sure it wasnt locked up, learned the system has a low pressure auto cutoff, added uv die and stop leak and recharged the system to where i believe it should run on its own, at that point i...

Gentlemen, new to this forum and I have a question regarding my a/c. So yesterday, after years of solid performance, the air conditioner started blowing warm. I didn't think anything of it so I went and bought some R134 this morning thinking I was just gonna do a quick refill and that'd be that...

Hey all! I'm new here. Finally became a member because I've got a question. I've got a 1994 Explorer XLT. It had been sitting in a garage for a number of years before I bought it. That was last October. Since I live in Idaho the AC hadn't really been too much of a concern. Now I'm down in...

Hey Guys, So it is super hot (in the 90s in SC) and I need to replace the air conditioning compressor on my v8 4x4 '04 Explorer. Can anybody offer any advice on the easiest way to remove the compressor? It doesn't appear going through the top is an option, and it looks really tough to go...

hey folks, I have a 2003 explorer 4.6 and got problem with my AC. its nice and cold within 10-15 minutes after truck starts, then blowing warm air sometimes hot depending on outside temperature. compressor is replaced last year and been working great until just few days ago. yesterday shop added...

So im told and keep reading that the HPFP is our problem with getting fuel to the engine to make more power. If i read things right as i learn about HPFP the flow rate increases as RPM increase because the cam lobe can open and close the HPFP piston faster. This means fuel supply is...

Hi all, This is on a 2003 Explorer XLT 4.0L V6 Turned my air on on the first really hot day (85F+) left it run and was warm. So I charged it up, worked great, then on the second day after that it was running warm again. It runs somewhat cool when the temperature outside is cool, but I'm...

So Igot my self a 2014 Ford explorer limited with few months ago almost brand new 4k miles on it... But there's an issue I have encountered with the ac/heater. So evertime I turn my AC/heater on which ever my Truck would stalled I guess u can say for example it won't have a steady Rpm....it's...

Hey folks, First time poster here, hopefully I do things right. I am currently driving a 97' Ford Ranger V6. I've been having some AC problems lately and I'm hoping to find some things to look into. Early this Summer the compressor was cycling pretty heavily and I took that as a sign...

Hi all, First time posting. Appreciate any help you may be able to give. I recently replaced the compressor, drier, and orifice tube. Wanted to do it the right way so I had a friend who does AC help me evacuate, pull vacuum and charge up. When idle the system seems fine. When driving the...

Whats up guys, Im new to the forum (as far as being registered) but I have used you guys info to fix a lot of things on my truck. Here's the issue that had me to sign up as I can't seem to fix the problem I am having. So I bought this truck for work and the A/C isn't working. It was a mess...

Ok so The A/C in my explorer hasn't worked for about 2 years. I got it 3 years ago and after the winter of the first year it simply wouldn't produce cold air. Up until now it didn't really big me but it's been one hot summer so I figured I'd give it a shot. So I bought a recharge kit from a...

I've searched the forum for a couple days, but I'm not sure what to do. Apologies if this has been covered already. My AC blows warm, but everything else works. I got an AC pro kit, and measured the low side pressure, which was only slightly low. I filled it, rechecked, and nothing. Waited a...

So my ac started blowing hot air. After a day of this, it just started blowing cold AC again without any work. That lasted about a week. Now, it's been hot air for 2 weeks. So I got a recharge 134a kit, and followed instructions. The pressure gauge went to just over 100, in the red...

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place...we have hit a DEAD END!! Working on a 1997 Explorer 4.0L V6 engine...hubby has drained the freon and refilled it and confirmed no leaks--he can jumper the compressor manually and it comes on and cools just fine. Compressor won't engage on its...

Brand new compressor installed but clutch doesn't engage. What to do? Having my first baby in 1 week and REALLY want to have the A/C working. My dad is very mechanically inclined so please give me your suggestions and I will pass them on to him. THANK YOU!

Dear ExMen, I have a not-so-new-to-me 2007 EB v8. Been my daily driver for 8 months. I put on 16,000 of the total 91,000 miles. The history: In October, had a hot few days and the AC ran great. All winter the defroster performed flawlessly. In March, and only on start up, it began...

I have a 2001 Explorer XLT 5.0 AWD. Apparently my A/C compressor is not working. Air not cold when turned to cold and defrost does not work well at all. Is there any way for me to try to diagnose/fix whatever problems might exist?

I have an '02 Explorer 2WD 4.6L V8 and just recently within the last week when the a/c is turned on and the clutch engages it begins a constant rattling that can be heard over the engine noise. Turn of the engine, clutch disengages and the rattling immediately stops. Is this clutch, or a...

I posted a video just last week about this. My RPM rises and drops when I turn my A/C on. The air doesn't come out cold, just cool. Here's a video showing what my compressor does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OISTsfUp7Ss I also noticed a small hissing noise after I turned the engine off and...

Hi guys, I have the 4.0 V6 SOHC, I noticed that the AC compressor turns on and off when im using the heater. Just clicks on spins for bit then off and keeps repeating, is something wrong?

Hey guys, anybody seen this scenerio? Pressure is running high (100 or so) but it won't engage the compressor. 3 people have tried to jump it and it will not jump, however every once in a while it will engage just for a few seconds on its own without jumping just to tease me. When it does...

QUESTION: I know that I ought to put some oil in the compressor and turn the unit by hand at least 10 times to lube it up, but do I leave any oil in it or do I discharge all the oil before hooking it up? it is a re-manufactured compressor I bought. :rolleyes: I am replacing the compressor and...

Hey everyone, I have a 95 explorer that surges very lightly at low speeds. During idle it fluctuates between like 7-800 and 1000. During the idle I can hear the compressor clutch kicking on and then back off. The that time is when the rpms are fluctuating. Additionally I have the check...

It's getting about time I need to rotate my tires and I'd like to do it myself. What sized air compressor do I need, based on horsepower, gallon size, etc., to rotate the tires on my explorer and what sized impact wrench do I need, either 1/2" or 3/8". I'd like to help my parents out christmas...
