Re: Air conditioning Question

Re: Air conditioning Question
Dealer says there are no leaks. The intermittent operation is caused by compressor freezing. They recommend replacing the 3 temperature sensors. They say they'll do it if I can get the sensors. ...

Re: Air conditioning Question
Actually they only charged $240 labor, I supplied the rebuilt compressor, as the new ones were very pricey $~800 vs $390 rebuilt.
This dealer turned-it around in one day as well. And they were...

Air conditioning Question
AC on my '92 has given up. Just had a re-built compressor installed by the dealer on Friday. It worked for a little while.
But within the first day it would run for a while and then blow warm....

My rebuilt transmission is working great mechanically, but the gear position lights on the instrument panel are acting up. Everything works fine in gears 1, 2 and 3. But the "D" never lights up. ...

Door Lock Jammed
Went to open the driver's side of my '92 this morning, and the key wouldn't open it. Then I tried turning the key really hard, and forced it far enough that the handle would open it. Same when...

Re: Parts from SubaruParts.com .. ??
1stsubaruparts.com is a good alternate. Usually a little cheaper if you're buying anything over $50 or so. They aren't fast either, but I've never had either of them lose an order...

Re: AC Issues...
Mine has this problem sometimes. If I do a "hard reset" (turn the key off and then on again), the compressor comes on line. (if you do this while moving, put it in neutral, and don't lock the...

Re: AC doesn't come on
Could be a leak and no refrigerant, would that cause the blower (fan) not to come on? My other AC systems would at least blow hot air with the AC on and a bad compressor, or something...

Warmer day yesterday, 65F (inside the car much warmer). Turned the climate control to "auto" and set temp at 65, nothing. Ran the temp up to 80, blower came on, plenty of hot air. Ran the temp...

Re: down shifting at 80 mph
It was just the TPS!
I measured the voltage at 0.3V, adjusted it back up to 0.5V, and I've got my AWD back again. Also, it idles better, and is noticeably smoother under maximum acceleration. ...
