first of i know my car isnt an ITR, only the motor, but you guys seem alot smarter then the regular integra forum users... so i am begging for some help

OK this is going to be pretty long....

last couple of days my ac has been acting up, cutting in and out alot, and i can feel the compressor vibrating/pulsating on the drivers floorboard intermitantly....

today i go to start my car and no luck.. just kinda whirred and tried to turn over, i tried to roll it back n pop start it, i wasnt rolling fast enough and the car just jolted.. then i goto start it normal and it starts up, but god damn is it making some noises.. almost like a bed slamminginto the wall during sex. It was horrible, i turned it off shortly after, the noise is very loud, almost too loud to be coming from the block...

I was thinking maybe my compressor locked up after i turned the car off about an hour prior to this.. and upon initial start up it couldnt crank because of that stopping it, then when i tried to pop start it, maybe something broke free inside, and now the noise i hear is it binding up, or bits of it coming apart...

Like i said the Noise is super loud, and i dont think it could be from the block

its a 98 jdm itr motor with roughly, 50k on it... and ac compressor however is a 95 from a gsr and its been used in florida for 10years...

any help or suggestions are appreciated...
Chris

 

well gee... why don't you take off the AC belt and see if the noise goes away.

 

i didnt find out until i was leaving for work, and i was already late, so i didnt have time, i have a friend going to my house around 930 to try that.. i was just trying to get some ideas. or similar experiences
