... i had my line made at hose n hydraulics like 5 mins from our house... yes i oiled up the compressor, we filled up compressor according to guages... its strange... you turn on the car and idle is way low even if my a\c is not on... during this time if i choose to turn on the a\c it works... 20 seconds later it just blow regular air in... turn off a\c and idle still stays low and then 2 mins of driving it idle fine again...
what i dont understand is why it feels like power is being taken away even if my a\c is not on...
btw ranjo mentioned that this problem occurs with alot of his customer's cars also... he mentioned he had to put a toggle switch on that plug that connects to the compressor... and this actually fixed their problem... idk how but iam going to test this out see how it works...
Sounds like Ranjo needs to quit doing A/C work. No bashing but if this is a common problem with the cars coming out of that shop one would start to worry. BTW did you answer all of the questions above with a yes. If so I will be happy to look at your car and find the problem.
