What's up NICO I got a problem while my a/c is running after my car gets running. Turn the a/c on and after a while I get this high squeeking squeeking noice from under the hood and when I'm like move and just at idle the air doesn't run cold only icy when in motion. So what's the deal with this?? I'm in the Cali heat so help me out.

Sounds like a loose compressor belt. Check there first.

Adjusted the pulley and squeeking is elimitated but I still have a problem with it not blowing cold air it does sometimes but it's fluctuates. It will make this tissssssing akin and my Rpms will go up and down. It seems like the car has to be IN motion for air to blow cold could it be the condenser or compresser maybe?? Input greatly apprecaited

if you are savvy in a/c, you can check the pressures with a Manifold gauge set. By the pressures, you can tell if its a low charge or the compressor. The "tissing" sound, im guessing you mean when you first kick on the a/c? if it is then its definately not the compressor. Shop is gonna rape you on price.

Hell if you cant get it, i have a r134 machine and around your area. ill help a fellow 240 driver for cheap
