AC compressor
I think my compressor bit the dust. My AC was working fine, and then yesterday I got in my car (after I had just driven it and had the AC working just fine!) and and it started blowing hot air, and I could feel the compressor kicking on and off fairly rapidly. When I got to my friend's house I popped the hood and turned the AC on, the compressor will engage, make about four rotations and then it makes this funny noise and shuts off.

I'm gonna diagnose it on Monday at work and see what's going on, but if I need a compressor, does anyone have one?

Re: AC compressor
Maybe just low on refrigerant? I had to recharge both of my SVXs once. I knew it was time when the compressor would start cycling periodically.

Re: AC compressor
'92 is R12 unless it's already been converted.

Sorry, my telepathy wasn't working. What difference would it make?
