Hey everyone.

I was driving my rb20det r32 when it was raining today with the aircon on and my car started making a hising noise then the engine turned off.

I pulled over and turned the aircon off then started the car and it ran normally. I drove for a while then turned the aircon on and it started making the hising noise again and threatened to turn off.

What could be the problem? Im sure its only related to the air-conditioning because it boosts, sounds and idles normal.

Thanks in advance.

If its doing it only when your AC is on, i would think its AC related.

Check the belt for the compressor isn't frayed or worn. If the compressor is on the way out, it will put unnecessary drag on the motor; the idle valve isn't enough to stop the motor from dieing?

Yeh, the motor still dies. What do i check for in the airflow meter? what could be wrong?

did you convert your ac system to r134a?

the different gas makes the compressor work harder causing it to steal a lot of power from the engine.

When i turn on my ac when driving, i have to neutral + rev it a bit so it doesnt stall as i come to a stop. After doind that once, the revs stay up around the 700rpm. Just the first time i need to give it a bit of help.

anyone know why? would it relate to the ecu learning to keep the rev's up at the next stops etc?

Sweet, nice work.

So is the AC comp seized? hard to rotate?

yes its seized, needs replacing. i found a compressor on the sau for $50, do u think its worth buying it if i dont know wether it works? I thought they were worth above 250??

thanks

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
