When I turn on my ac the fan instantly comes on, and the car shudders like the ac is taking all the power?
It also blows really cold unless it's real real hot… If it's real hot it tries to blow cold for awhile… Then starts blowing warm air. If I turn it off for a while, it will start blowing cold air again… For a minute. (I live in Florida)
2003 Ford focus
125000 miles
Repairs… Serpentine belt, alternator several times, water pump, and a few other things.
It started after I took my car in to the shop to have my alternator/serpentine belt replaced.
When you turn on a load such as the headlights or AC the Idle speed control motor is supposed to adjust the idle up to handle the extra power draw on the motor. You need to have the engine data read to see if all the sensors and solenoids are working properly. Go to the dealer.
Why did you not return to the shop that did that last repair? Seems logical to go back to a shop that did something that affected the car. No one can "fix" anything online by guessing, even experts admit to that and it would be irresponsible to say otherwise. Cars are very complex machines that wear out, get damaged by use and weather and elements, etc. Asking here is asking for guesses. Besides you are not a mechanic. Right? Go back to that shop.
- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
- Car fan is really loud when stationary and just after the car is switched off? I've got a 2010 Ford KA which I've had for 2 years in the last few days I noticed a fan comes on when I'm stationary and it's really loud for about a minute when I turn the engine off. Does anyone know what this could be? Themostat was broken - phew! Not a hug expense to correct!
- If Blasey-Ford is telling the truth, she could instantly annihilate Kavanaugh with one, short BRAIN-SCAN LIE DETECTOR session. Of course, if? She's lying, she'd be the laughingstock of the century. And these MRI's are very, very accurate. Why won't she just demand they BOTH take one? I mean, since she isn't lying. .
- Rattle noise when I accelerate. Sounds like plastic hitting a fan? I have a 2003 Ford Focus. Just recently every time I accelerate I hear this rattle noise. The best way to describe it is when you take a piece of plastic and put it to a fan. Or take a baseball card to a bike tire. My check engine light came on and when I had that checked they said it's either the gas cap or I have a very small leak. Could these be connected? Car also makes that sound when I first turn it on.
