i recently just bought a 99 si with a blown motor.....well anyways ,i just put the new motor in started and runs good... the only problem is that when i turn the ac on it make a wierd noise, but the ac works and evreything, just make a funny whistling noise....wat could be the problem?
does anyone on HT know wats wrong with my ac....

 

need info ...please help

 

check the belt for vibration. also could be the bearing, is it a whistling or a squealing kinda noise? maybe the a/c clutch is bad in the compressor. also check your fan inside the cabin.

P.S. Cool avatar

 

i check on that .....thanks

 

Belt noise? Has the ac system ever been open?

 

no its never been open ...

 

Your avatar is killing me.

 

 

ac pump is going out buddy...had the same prob with my black coupe...

 

u think so ...man that sound $$$ to fix

 

I've got the same problem. If you're driving and you go over 3k rpms the ac squeels like a stuck pig and everybody stares at you, it sucks.

 

Compressor is on it's way out. Bad bearings in there. Probably caused by lack of oil (means you had/have a leak somewhere and whoever had the motor before you just kept topping it off with gas but no oil). Now your bearings in the compressor are shot.

 

I bought an AC compressor a while back ago for $50, they go for like $300 I believe... but yea, if you find one for cheap and have someone charge it up, it won't be too bad to your pocket. Just use what you got till its shot. (=

 

i got a compressor i will sell you from a 99 ex 50$

 

i dont think a ex compressor will work on mines

 

the noise sound like its coming from my ac fan ....but wat do u think is wrong with the fan

 

Damn that's hot. If those are your titz, marry me.

umm yeah, anyway, i dunno mine does the squeeling of the stuck pig, but i heard belts, it only does it if i shift hard from 1st too 2nd, also mine does the whistling too

 

mines come on when i hit the ac button ....then after i drive for like 10 minutes it goes away....then repeats cycle........wats the problem guys....that sound is really buggin the **** out of me

 

I have a similar (if not same) problem with my pre-certified '02 Accord V6 -- i took it to honda complaining that i hear a faint gurgling noise when my AC is on, but i was told that all hondas have this problem when the A/C compressor swings into action. It was hard to believe that all hondas have this problem!! Pls. advice... is my unit bad as well?

If it's coming from the right side of the dash when the a/c cycles, it's normal.

 

It could also be the bearings inside the tensioner pulley. Move the belt off both the pulley and compressor and then try spinning them by hand and see if they rotate freely. BTW, you'll have to remove the powersteering pump to do this which is quite easy and gives you the room you need. Good luck

It could be low on charge or your compressor clutch is slipping. I'd lean towards the later of the two.

 

my noise is coming from the right side vent on the dash
