Well, I was looking into why my ac gets really warm at idle tonight, and found that the clutch isn't even engaging at idle. Does this mean that i have to bump up the AC idle-up? The AC clutch kicks in when i bring it to about 1200-1300 rpm with the throttle, it idles at about 1000 with the ac on right now.
Anyone know what i gotta do to make it kick in at idle?

Got to adjust the knob on the A/c amplifier which is behind the glove box.

Got a picture of it? ive heard of people looking for it but couldnt find it.

 

[Ajones1165]

this was youre talking about?

 

[Ajones1165]

I have it apart right now and i dont see any knobs

Nevermind, i found it. heres what it looks like so if anyone else is having the same problem. just turned it clockwise tward the "L" for lower RPM until the clutch kicked on, then had to turn the AC idle-up knob in the engine bay up a little bit too, now i have ice cold air at idle. thanks!!!
heres that picture.

another question.
when i run my ac, it leaks oil. but if i dont use it it wont leak.
Where the hell should i start to figure out what i need to re seal? do they even sell the seals like that? i looks like its coming from the top.
does anyone know how the compressor even comes apart? it says nothing in the FSM

there is a rubber seal between the top of the comp and fitting block..its held on by 4 allen head bolts..easy fix..did mine about 4 months ago

so thats where the mineral oil goes?
im not going to have to drain the freon to do it right?
Sorry but i know NOTHING about ac systems haha

 

[robertlee831]
