Just pisses me off that this will be the 3rd time I'll be blowing $70 in 2 months to have the system evaced and recharged...

Maybe it's just a vibration? When you stepped on the gas, the sound stopped.

its definitely the clutch in the compressor. it stops when youre on the gas because its spinning faster because its getting more power.

Just replace the clutch if that's all that's bad. Mine fell off one nite when I was driving hard. Went to the junkyard and got one off a car installed it and I've been fine ever since. They pull rite off after you take off the bolt.

if it's the alarm,- lock, lock, unlock, unlock. would reset it.

sounds like a dead battery, bad terminal, loose connection. something like that

 

[theEZV]

Cleaned the terminals, alarm light started to blink, then went dead again. Guess its the battery. Its only like 3 years old, the stocker lasted like 6 years.

Hopefully your alternator is charging it properly :/

 

[theEZV]

Alarm is blinking but nothing is happening. Would there be any warning signs if the alternator was bad/not charging properly? Never really had any starting issues with this car.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I think if you take your battery to autozone they can test it to see if the battery is good/bad.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

if its just a bad battery you should be able to jump start the car and it should run. If you just start it and it wont stay running then probably your alt.

Same with an alt right? I've never done that though :/

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

yeah, they can test your alt too, but i figured since his car is dead it might be hard for him to do that lol

Perks of having a DD

Hope its not the alternator. Really dont wanna drop any major cash into this car at this point.

A battery is pretty expensive too then.

 

[theEZV]

Touche...lol

Touche...lol

I guess it depends on your job what is expensive. But I'm pretty sure in everyone's book a turbo is up there.
