Cars & Transportation - 2 September 2007

Ok, last night I put some refridgerant in my A/C in my 91 Explorer. Its a 134a system and I filled it up to about 45 psi, this is what is considered "full". Now heres whats odd. When the AC is on, and the pressure is at 45, the compressor kicks on, but as soon as it does, the pressure drops to about 25 and it kicks off. After it kicks off again, the pressure rised back up to 45 again.

I know that AC repair is only to be performed by a tech, and I do NOT intend on doing reapirs myself, but I am going through school for Automotive Service, and I will be taking an AC class, so I am curious what would cause this to happen. I would like to know, and when it does come time to repair, I will either take it in and have it done in class, or take it to the shop and have it repaired. Again, I am NOT attempting to repair this in my garage, I am just curious as to what could cause this, I would like to have an idea before I take it to school or a mechanic.

Thank you

I have a 03 Pontiac Grand Am 2.2 SE. My fuel pump went out and I replaced the pump and filter. A day later the check engine light came on. I had it checked with a Snapon Scanner and it read low fuel mixture on bank 1 for 23 seconds. The guy cleared it and the light went off. 2 days later (this morning) it came back on again. What could be the possible problem? How do I fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is engine capacity measured with the engine in a 'normal' position, ie with the pistons in different positions in the cylinders, or is it measured as though all the pistons were at the bottom?

I don't know if they used my social or old insurance or what, but someone out there has a car registered in my name (in a different state,) and their parking fines arrived at my parents' house. The fines were made out to my maiden name and went to an address I haven't been to in over 6 years.

What is the appropriate course of action here?

i have my permit and my parents are thinking of buying me a car. however, they are being unfair about it. i have an undying hatred of cloth seats. i know of some used cars with leather seats for 3,000 dollars. my parents want to buy a new car with cloth seats for 15,000 dollars. they say they are introducing me to the real world where i dont always get what i want.

first of all, that is not introducing me to the real world at all. in the real world if you dont have much money, you are more likely to get a 3,000 dollar used car than a 15,000 dollar new car.

i dont understand why they care so much if the car i want costs 1/5 of the price of the car they want to buy me. yes, they are paying but if i want a cheaper car they should be happy that they save money

Car type: 99 Accord 4 cylinder
My car has shut off three seperate times while I have been driving it.
The problem only takes place in the afternoon after the car has been in the sun. It only happens if I turn my AC to 3. It does not happen when the weather is cool or moderate.
I hope it's just a belt.

The other day I was driving and I went to turn my AC on and my car crapped out. I have no idea what is wrong but I had a friend look at it and we know its not firing. We checked the timing belt,distrubutor and other basics and everything looked okay. Any ideas?

Okay. When my car hits 1 1/2 to 2 on the RPM, the brake and battery light come on. It's a '97 Altima, and I don't think the alternator/battery has ever been replaced. When I get to 4 on the RPM, they begin to blink. Last night, while driving home, my CD would cut off for no reason, then right back on. And when I parked it at home, I came out fifteen minutes later and it wouldn't start. I'm almost sure it's the battery/alternator .... what do you guys think? (and i've checked my brake fluid, it's fine)

I have always had crappy radio reception in my Subraru Forester. If I drive just five miles from the city, I can't get most of the FM stations. In other cars I can keep a signal for my favorite radio station for up to two hours outside of the city, but not in my Forester. Is this a design flaw with the Subraru, has anyone else noticed this? Is it fixable? I took it the mechanic and he told me that it would be $100 just to find out what the problem is, but if it can't be fixed, I don't want to waste the money.

I suspect the TFI module is bad. Could it cause a draw on the battery with the ignition off while sitting?
