    What A\C compressor to replace Stock unit?

    I believe my compressor has gone out. It wouldn’t come on today. I had issues before my car was down and I was thinking it was the blend door actuator. I sure wish I knew this while the engine was out. Geesh!!

    You should diagnose the problem first.

    First you need to check the AC Compressor Relay in the box under the hood!!

    Swap it with the horn relay and see what happens......it may just surprise ya as it did me a few years ago!!

    A/C is still ice cold!
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    mine just burned up - filled the interior with the smell of molten asbestos. Found a complete kit on RockAuto, issue is on their site and everyone else's there are usually at least two choices of compressors. Hard to tell which is correct, the piston replacement or scroll style. The scroll style image is matches the compressor I have.

    Thanks guys. Very helpful info. While I’m happy to have my car back running, it’s the wrong time of the year for my air to not be working. It’s hottt down here

    I tried this and the compressor still didn’t turn on. Is there a link here that tells how to test everything? Even if I find it by searching google, for some reason it will not open on my phone

    depress a schrader valve and see if freon is in it.
    If not, the accumulator probably rotted out, or there is a hole in the condenser.

    Did your problem start after the engine swap?

    I depressed it yesterday and only hot air came out for the few seconds I did it. I was having some issues with it cooling then not cooling as well from time to time

    If the refrigerant is low enough the compressor will not come on.

    While I had the compressor running I put the can of Freon on it with the gauge and it was low. I added some Freon until it was in the green. I removed the jumper and replaced the relay and the compressor would not come on again.
