I am a new subscriber because I did change the compressor in my 2008 mazda NC miata.I researched yutube and your analysis is so accurate, same issues not cold on idle speed but cooler on driving speed.Changed the compressor and Bingo, very cold now even on idle 30 degrees now its freezing cold using ozone friendly natural gas refrigerant from eBay. And this also the first time I replaced compressor.The last time 10 years ago I was scammed by a Honda dealership here in Lancaster charged me $2300 for the same a.c. job on my honda civic and still did not do it right I have to return 2nd time for them to fix it and come to find out my evaporator is bad.What a bunch of Scammers in the service department.So I tried all DIY job on all my cars since then.
That’s exactly what’s going on with mine!!! Thanks. It slowly got worse over a period of a few weeks now nothing.
Very helpful. Had the same issue--temp fluctuating up and down as i drove and/or idled at lights. This was very helpful to understand the issue and confirm the diagnosis from the shop. Thank you!
The revving the engine info was GOLDEN. Thanks bro.
Thank you ever so much for making and uploading this short yet very informative video loaded with just the right information ℹ needed right now.
Reeds in the comp are allowing the high psi hot gas to return to the low side giving a high suction psi.
Great video. Really liked the graphics of the compressor and of the AC tool. Thanks
Very helpful. This is the exact problem my compressor is doing. When foot on the gas the compressor starts to do its job. Thank you for this video.
HI. i recent purchased a car sight unseen and noticed that theres a lot of brown dust around the ac compressor clutch. The cooling appears to be fine in the car at the moment, but I'm curious if this is a sign of a previous issue or just normal wear. Thanks!
My system is only giving static pressure 45psi on both high and low side. With the car on and compressor engaged, there is no movement on the gauges. While the compressor seems to be the most likely culprit, I hear that a stuck open expansion valve can show the same symptom. Is there any way to troubleshoot this further without swapping out parts?
Hi GreaseMonkeyRepairs, I have exactly same reading that you have in the videos at both idle and with 2000rpm. My AC compressor has electronic control valve and wondering if I could replace that to solve the problem. Please let me know your suggestion.
Great information thanks alot same issue I'm having with my ac driving its cooling but not maximum and at idle I boil...
Thanks man my car has the same guage readings, glad this video is up. Time to get digging in the engine bay🙃
I knew mine was bad when it locked up and made one hell of a screeching sound and stalled the engine
Hope you got back on the road quick! Mine makes an awful noise so I don’t use it, I don’t need it freezing up and break my serpentine belt. 😬
You turn it off and the engine unstalls.
Good way to tell
@@namastesunshinecindy5566 you should replace it I paid under 150 to save a hellavaproblem
@@W81Researcher genius 😆
The first video I watched was this one…immediately subscribed….Thank You
Thanks for the video. My AC works on my 2008 Highlander but noise comes from the engine compartment when the AC is on. Any hints?
I'm sitting in my car thinking my compressor was bad so I looked it up here on youtube and I saw you vid and it looked like you were going to get straight to the point which you did and actually showed my exactly what I was just doing parked. My baby has the same symptoms.
So I think you for sharing that.

Thank you! Question: would the compressor not be making noise if it was getting weak?
I have a 2010 Chevy Silverado 4 wheel drive with a 5.3 V8 and it dies on me after I start the truck and let it set for a few minutes and sometimes it will die when I am backing up. And sometimes after I am driven for a little while when I slow down it does not always idol like it's suppose to ,the idol is jumping up and down and sometimes when I take off from a red light or stop sign it will hesitate and then jerk. I was told from a auto parts that it sounds like my ac it causing the problem,what do you think.I could really use some help.Thanks
I have the exact same issue and pressure reactions as shown in the video. The air is cool but not cold. Since this new compressor is not seized do I need to replace the condenser? I just replaced the condenser six months ago. I have had this issue from day one with this new compressor.
Thanks that really answered my question fast!
Great info simple diagnosis
brother you helped me a lot! I was wondering why on regular idle my ac was sort of cutting off and only blew warm air, but when i'm cruising at 60/70 mph it would feel like ice just incredible. Thanks so much for this basic simple info. I'm off too change my AC compressor.
Did the new fix the problem?
My compressor stays on, it keeps truck kinda cool in 95f outside, but anything below 85f outside it’s pretty cold in the truck. Freon is full, gauge is where it should be. Sometimes gets wArmer then cold while driving. Coolant is full but pretty dirty, is that a big problem? Any help?
Mine is a 2011 Toyota Camry LE I noticed the car in the video is also a Toyota Camry sixth Gen what year and many miles did it have when the compressor went out on that one
my exact problem thanks man hey what brands should i stay away from i need a new compressor and thinking of getting a piston upgraded from a rotor style on my 2006 mazda 3 2.3 l ????
My 2010 Camry has a knocking/rattling sound when compressor is on. Sound goes away when just the blower on. Ac is ice cold.
I was told compressor and ridiculous price, but after a few videos I'm wondering if it is just a pulley or clutch assembly? Thoughts?
Hey thanks for the info working on my car notice the clutch is short cycling the freon is good pressure switch is good but the clutch keep cutting off and on to soon could it be the coil is going bad
i replaced my radiator, water pump and thermostat and with the system getting bled the ac still doesn’t run as cold as it should. i brought it to a local shop and they fixed the problem initially. 38 degrees it got to. til about a week later i started to notice it would only get really cold when i would get on it at higher speeds, then eventually get warmer but still kind of cold. not 38 degrees cold but around 60. would this be a ac compressor failing? no leaks from what i could tell while it was being worked on and like i said it was fixed for about a week.
This helps a bunch! Thanks!
I need a little help with my 2006 Honda civic. Got the car used with no AC. I tried fixing it by replacing ac condenser, evaporator coil, and receiver dryer. I didn't replace the ac compressor. Charged it up, it was somewhat cold but not freezing cold. This was 3 years ago. Now the AC is blowing cool but not cold air. I thought maybe there was a leak but there's pressure in the lines. I added a little more freon, it got a little cold at that time and next day, it was blowing cool air only. So maybe i got a weak or bad ac compressor, what do you think? Everything else there was replaced not too long ago. I think I'll replace the ac compressor because i can't figure out what else could be wrong with it. The AC compressor clutch is fine.
I have one making a loud air horn sound if engaged then compressor just kicks right back off? Regardless if the AC switch is on/off it makes a horn sound but its only occasionally while AC is turned off as it tries to cycle but I cant tell if the noise is from my clutch or an internal compressor noise?
My guess is internal compressor failure because horn noise is not all the time while switched off and only when it cycles but' Wth causes a weird air horn sound on an AC? Can it be something besides a bad compressor causing this?
Its a Toyota AC (Denso 10s17c) fwiw?
Thanks for helping!
Hey I just got a 2008 Tacoma my clutch engages all the time with the heat and the ac there’s no difference, shouldn’t the clutch not be engaged if the heat is just on? Also checking this video because my Tacoma just started to make a squeal noise when ac or heat is on? Would it be a bad compressor
Hey my ac in my Honda blows cold on one side , I changed the blend door actuator , but it still does it . Any suggestions
I just received a recall notice and warranty extension from Honda re: AC compressor shaft seal leak. Did you get a notice as well? It is dated June 2023. Covers 2016-2021 Civics and 2017-2022 CRVs for original owner and any subsequent owners.
This was a great help thank you. I spent most of yesterday struggling with mine. Is the system supposed to pull the freon in? I put a full vac on first.
Hello you can tell me what is the exact amount of 134a gas for corolla 2009
Hello, I drive Prius 2005. My ac compressor makes noise when I turn on the AC and it blows heat. What do you advice I change?
Thank u... exactly what I was looking for...
I got a 2006 Silverado sometimes it blows ice cold then it stops after awhile I’ll go inside a store come back out turn truck back on and go and I’ll turn ac back on and works fine again but then stops after awhile and it’s rare but some times it stays cold till I arrive where ever I’m going even if I’m on the freeway or stop and go traffic I could leave the truck in the sun when it’s 107 degrees out sides and will now ice cold then stops any advice where I can fix the problem
Hi can a bad ac compressor cause rough idle, misfires and poor engine performance also??
Is it true that the PCM controls the the AC compressor and will shut it off when you're accelerating to free up our power?
Very informative, thank you.
I have this Honda Brio amaze and air is not cooling during Idle, only when the car is running or giving it a rev. what do you think I should replace? both Compressor and condenser?,. thank you,.
Hi I don't really use my ac much now but the compresser is making noice and car seams to have problems with something not working right when in gear like break is stuck but it's not? 98 buick
Thank you my Question has been answered time for a compressor
Thx just what I was looking for golden info thanks a lot 😊😊
Is it true that a malfunctioning thermostat sensor or thermostat cooling engine effect compressor operation?
Could bad compressor and/or clutch or pulley cause humming noise without air running?
Do I need to replace the condenseur if I replace the ac compressor ?
Hey I have a 2008 toyota Yaris
My compressor colds at idle
But when driving it get warm
I’ve changed the control valve and expansion valve.. still having the same problem. Help! Thanks.
How will it differ from low refrigerant? it should produce similar situation in either case.
On my ford ranger wen try turning on my ac i get warm air and the clutch just goes on and off repeatedly do i need to just get a new compressor
My Honda when I hit certain bumps my AC goes off and if I hit another bump it comes back on..I’ve had blower checked and it’s good compressor is good..what could be the problem?

I have a 05 Mitsubishi Galant just got dryer put on and compressor I was having the same problem but now ac went out again and freon was blowing through my vents and had a burning smell. What could this be
I just installed a new air Conditioning system on a 2007 trailblazer I bought the kit from Napa it came with a new compressor and a little aluminum tank I forgot what it was called But we installed it on the car it came pre-charged with oil in the compressor and we actually dumped it out and added oil to it but the air worked amazing and I mean amazing would put frost on your windows for about two months and then three days ago we pull up to a red light and within 10 seconds the air went from freezing cold to hot. So I pop the hood and the compressor was not spinning. We checked the low pressure valve and it is working properly and the Freon levels are good. The only way the compressor will come back on is if you shut the car off and let it cool off for about an hour and when you start it back the compressor will run. And if you jump the relay with a wire the compressor will kick on and as soon as it kicks on you can take the wire out and put the relay back in and it will run for about 15 to 20 minutes again, But on a normal morning when you start the car the compressor will run for about 30 minutes sitting in the driveway in about 15 minutes if you’re driving it and then it will shut off and not come back on unless the car is cooled off. every mechanic shop I have spoke to has no clue why this does that. Do you think the new compressor is bad?
Please answer me this question is it normal for the AC compressor to kick on and off within 10 or 15 seconds?
my honda city has ac problems when i turn the ac on it will cool then when i drive for about 10 to 15mins the thermostat shuts down.what do you think is the problem sir. thanks in advance
MY 1991 Nissan hardbody blows cold air 11Celsius (51.8 Farenheit) it used to squeal like a pig for a few seconds when I turned it on, now it is on all the time without turning the A/C on, and I noticed oil is present around the compressor.
Do I need a new compressor?
Does this work the same way with heat and would a bad compressor cause over heating
Could it be the compressor that cause a lot of clicking noises and make my car idle when ac on?
My car hose was leaking I plugged all the holes up but I see the Freeon come out near the fan area as soon as the fan starts is that a compressor or a bad fan
Sometimes a simple thing as compressor connecter can stop a compressor , I told mechanic can you check connecter, he said it is broken and fixed it and it worked
Hello. 2011 Toyota Tacoma ac light blinking then blows warm air. Replaced ac relay still have same problem. Need help very annoying
When I connected the gauges, the low side was 350 being static, high side was 100 normal for a 100 degrees day. So, someone said that my compressor was bad. I decided to change the compressor and recharged ac and still not working. Any ideas?
Checked the AC on my GF 2004 Toyota Corolla that was blowing hot air. The magnetic clutch doesn't engage / spin on the compressor. With the AC turned on the fan under the hood doesn't spin. Checked the AC relay by swapping it out with the horn relay, horn didn't work, AC relay was bad. I replaced the AC relay but it didn't fix the problem. The fan still doesn't spin and the magnetic clutch on the compressor doesn't engage / spin. Not sure what to do and can't really afford going to a mechanic (they quoted me $125 just for the diagnostic).
wait so how would you know the difference between a stuck expansion valve issue vs a bad compressor. in essence I would assume both would show on the ac gauge that the low pressure is too high and that the high pressure is too low (I might be wrong). but it that were the case how would you know which one is the issue? there's a big difference money wise to replace an expansion valve vs replacing an ac compressor.
also I've heard that when you replace an AC compressor you have to replace the condenser, dryer and possibly the expansion valve. is this true or do u perform an AC flush to rid the system of metallic particles. I have a Hyundai Sonata 2013.
Amazing video, thanks.
I just added freon to my vehicle its cold and staying cold but loud noises around fan area and vibration any suggestions or ideas of the cause?
Great video. I need to replace my pt cruiser and probably volvo xc 90 compressors.
@Kevin Justin PT Cruiser was fixed. Can use it when necessary. Now need to fix xc90, fix looks very easy, but still need some time to remove a/c clutch spacer or simpler procedure.
Mine seized up on my 2013 F150 5.0 finally. Snapped the belt in the process. Luckily that belt only runs the ac system pulleys and the other belt runs the water pump and alternator so I can still drive it.
@Nimble KIllaI'm still driving mine just fine. I removed the a/c belt completely and just keep all my windows down when I'm driving for cooler air. Lol. Not wanting to spend $300+ for a new compressor kit at the moment.
Is increasing strain on the engine(almost to the point it stalls)when the compressor kicks on a sign it's going bad. For some reason my car automatically kicks on the compressor(even when it's cold and the heat is on) when I turn on my front defroster,so it's not even running the ac,but still putting a noticeable amount of strain on the motor. I plan on keeping the car forever as it's 27yrs old and the model is becoming a more and more scarce,and it's something that's always happened so idk if it's normal,but it's more noticeable than on any other car I've ever had
My wife has 2014 chevy cruze that squeaks when she gives it gas with the ac on.. wat is this?
How do you know when to change just the compressor or the whole system? I've been told and seen on YT once the compressor goes bad fine metal particulate contaminates the system an will continue to blow through the evaporator, condenser, etc and will quickly blow back into the compressor and ruin the new one.
I need help the ac compressor in my 03 yukon engages and disengages and doesn't cool the car off and I have the manual climate controls
informative vlog.. Bro is it possible that Ac compressor leakage ?? I asked you because I just refiled the gas in my Renault duster ,within 4 hours that Gas vanished and the this is not turning on !!!! Please help ..
i have some problem with my compressor. its new, just installed it. but it empties the freon way too fast. like i just fill it up then for 5-10 minutes the freon is gone. also i check if there are leaks, no leaks found, so im confused whats going on.
I also get a strange sound when i initially turn the ac on alongside not blowing as cold on idle. Cheers think you figured it out for me
So now I now it’s the ac compressor thank you so much
Great analogy about the AC compressor. Made it much easier to understand lol
This is a real good video .
Excellent information
my a/c blows in high till I get on freeway than blows alot slower yet still cold. Is this a compressor or electrical issues,?
So if the temperature doesn't fluctuate the compressor is still ok?
I have a 2008 Accord V6 coupe.
Air was blowing hot compressor not kicking on, checked fuses and relay all good jump started my compressor thru relay added some freon compressor started working.
I put the relay back in and finished charging the a)c then I noticed a hissing coming from the high pressure hose,it was leaking around where the metal went into the rubber part.
I ordered one and waiting on it to arrive.
Is this common? Could there be other issues to cause this part to fail? It worked fine last year, noticed this the first time I used it this year.
I have the same issue with my accord v6 bro. when I recharged my ac it was making hissing sound like empty can type noise. and I kinda saw it bubble where u add the Freon in. I’m not sure if it’s a leak on the needle or what. Did u end up fixing ur problem ?
What about when the ac is running cold? But there's smoke coming from under the hood?
I have a question? We recently put a new battery in our 2004 Toyota Sienna and now there is a clicking noise coming from under the hood when we turn on the A/C. WHAT could THAT be?!
So weird! my 2016 Off Road, 4x4, all of a sudden just shut off. (green ac light went off and stays off). When I push the AC button on, I can hear it run then it shuts off, green ac light goes off. I checked the fuse and the replay, they are working properly. I had a friend come over and he said the compressor is running which is good news, however, he then assumed the refrigerant its empty so he was going to add freon but, his gage says the freon in full. That is where we are confused. Also its the 1234y NOT the usual 123A. Any insights? I want to sell this truck but I need to get this fixed first. We live in Florida. We do NOT have the $$ to have it serviced or even diagnosed at a local toyota dealership, they are way expensive. Just installed new air cabin filter, it was atrociously bad, but that hasn't fixed it at all. ???Help??? MIGHT be a bad pressure switch>?? Praying mine if NOT behind the firewall.....ugh!
How do I replace the expansion valve on my 06 chrysler town and country 3.8?
I drive a 06 Taurus so I think it's the same problem with mine
My car shakes when I trun on my ac does that mean I have to replace it?????
Yo best video on this honestly lol. The pressures you showed helped me determine my compressor is bad.
Thanks. Exactly what my2012 Tucson is doing. I sweat at stop lights and then is cools off a little when I drive to the next stop light.
Is it cold at stoplights? Or no cold at all?
@@aldoboquiren5304 no cold at all.
Our 2012 Tucson did that a few days ago, and now it's rattling badly. Whelp... time for a new compressor, condensor and receiver Drier, seals and expansion valve. (if it's making that much noise, it's likely lost some bits of parts in the cooling system, so I need to flush it out, and there's no way I can flush that condensor well enough to avoid re-contaminating the new compressor. Take a look at this video for some tips on diagnosing. th-cam.com/video/BXTZURC5iQ0/w-d-xo.html If you do decide it's your compressor, you can look at this video which is EXCELLENT. th-cam.com/video/cn49NjwjfYQ/w-d-xo.html . It doesn't show any flushing of the system. I bought my parts at Buy Auto Parts. They had a 2 yr warranty on the compressor, and their condensor was cheapest by far.
@@jum5238 I bought a compressor, expansion valve and filter on amazon and installed them last weekend. Had a mechanic recover the R134a and then I Loaned the pump and manifold kit from Autozone. It's running great now. Now that you mention it, there were times if I started my car with the AC on, it would rattle badly.
HEY GUY . Got a 2012 chevy cruz . Ac works fine on a cool day out . On a real hot day my ac will not get cold unless I jump on the fwy and even then it takes a while .I noticed a leak thru the low pressure port valve and I replaced the valve and refilled it with the Suff they sell hear at orellys but it looks like it got worse can any one give me some recommendations
Hi, When I on heater, compressor also running. It is normal? Can you please help me with your correct answer.
I have a 1994 Chevy pickup and behind the pulley on the compressor its showing some green bubbles. Will a leak repair stop it or do I need another compressor?
You would want to change the entire compressor vs repairing it (it's cheaper to buy a new one)
My car a/c not working properly. And cooling fan working at high speed. If I pour some water on condenser start cooling. Car is Toyota Corolla 2013 model. Variable displacement compressor. Compressor takes delay for getting on even I switched on a/c. Please tell me the possible fault
Thanks

Very helpful..Thanks bro
Well this sucks. I've NEVER used my ac in my 2016 colorado because I worked overnights never hot at night. Now I work during the day and ac would work once in a blue but stopped entirely for at least a year about a month ago it was working again for 2 days straight till I remote started the car with a quarter tank left... hot air immediately doesn't work now. Ac doesn't even kick on at all just blows air in if I use ac with air from outside its warm opposed to no ac and letting air blow in feels cool.
How often do you add oil to ac compressor ?
My ac got hissing sound,no cold air....i check the compresor ok.. whats the common prob?
