    The compressor isn't moving in the center? Check and made sure all the connections are plugged in and tight

    Ok let's revisit this situation shall we?

    It's been very hot these last two days and I'm trying to figure out my ac issue.

    Here's what I've gathered so far.

    I don't have a dual ac system.

    The air temperature sensor that's in under the front bumper isn't there.

    The belt is not on the ac compressor persay but looks like it's beside it from my view.

    My cluster shows no temp at all and activates the temp light when the car is put in gear.

    My engine was put into this current body and the the compressor worked before the swap.

    I'm thinking when we swapped maybe the lines were removed and the freon maybe leaked out? If so how many cans do I need to activate the compressor? I have three small cans on hand.

    The ac refill gauge is reading zero pressure and when I push the button to release the freon it goes into the red but slowly drops from the red while freon is being pushed into the system. The silver pipes turn icy while the freon is being pushed into the system.


    I've heard tht there is a way to jump the ac compressor to see if its working. How can I do that?

    Thanks guys. Trying to stop the sweating on these leather seats lol

    The belt needs to be on the compressor. You can jump the low pressure switch to force the compressor to run.

    Take the connector off and put a paper clip in it.

    Relay? Or actual connector that plugs into the compressor?

    Ok, well I'm at work so I'll try that when I get off. Just so fed up with these minor issues. Ok so more troubleshooting. I'm starting to lean towards either a huge leak or the ect sensor that's not showing the temp on My dashboard.

    FIXED! On to the next!

    Apparently I had a massive leak due to a missing o ring. A leak that I couldn't hear because of my super loud engine

    FWIW, when you swap an engine, you don't have to disconnect the lines on the AC. Just unbolt the compressor and let it lay on the subframe.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
