Ok...heres the situation

I also have a '98 civic ex. My mom was driving it and she said that as she was driving the car 's engine started roaring. Then she turned on the AC and it became even louder and the car was shaking.

I turned it on and lifted up the hood...for a stock car it doesnt sound right. Next i turned on the AC and it came out cold but after about 30 seconds the entire engine started shaking violently (it looked like it was gonna pop out of the car) and making a PSHHH sound. It almost sounds like something is flapping around inside (?)

I dont know anything about AC issues...but i cant believe a '98 honda with low miles would have the AC die.

If you guys have ever heard of this issue or know what it is let me know! B/c the car doesnt look or sound safe to drive.

Thanx alot
