My a/c works well when the car is moving. When stopped, the air gradually warms up and then the engine stalls. At first, the idle would just drop but the problem has progressed to where the engine stalls every time. If I turn off the air when stopped, engine runs normal. I verified the fan is turning. Thanks for any advice.

 

Do both the cooling fans run with the ac on?

 

Have you tried turning the engine idle up to see if that corrects the problem?

 

The radiator fan is not spinning. Is it supposed to spin all the time or is it controlled by water temp?

 

No I haven't tried adjusting the idle RPM. When the problem occurs the engine RPM becomes erratic and usually stalls. I put it in neutral once and rev'd RPM up while problem was occurring and RPM was still very erratic. I could hear a relay clicking on and off with a corresponding change in RPM. Thanks.

That's probably the problem, both fans should run with the ac on.

 

I checked the fan and it's electrically open. I'm gonna go get a new one. Thanks man.

 

I had a similiar problem with my 03 Accord. The fuse was blown for the radiator fan and I replaced it. It blew right away. I unplugged the power from the fan and put in a new fuse. Plugged the power back into the fan and both fans started to work. I noticed if the fuse to the radiator fan is blown the condensor fan won't work either.. yet it has its own fuse. The condensor starts up for the AC and goes right off when the condensor fan won't start up. Check the fuses!

 

I replaced the radiator fan and now the problem is solved. Thanks for the help guys.
