Greetings from down under, Eric and all members,
I’m new to this forum but I enjoy and have been watching the ETCG You Tube videos and learned a lot from them. More power to you.
My car is a ’91 Prelude (BA4) 2.0 4WS ( Engine is a B206A). Two days ago, I had the AC professionally evacuated, vacuumed and recharged with the R134a refrigerant. It worked perfect for a day blowing really cold air and running smoothly.
The next day when I turned the AC on , it wont cool anymore and the rpm literally fluctuates up and down every second! ( similar to someone revving the gas up and down rapidly).
It only happens when I press the AC button on with the cabin fan on. My mechanic observed this while happening and he said the compressor does not even engage or turn at all during the fluctuations. Mechanic checked the refrigerant and it was still charged and no leaks detected in the system.
When the AC is off, the rpm is normal and no issues whatsoever.
Apologies in advance if this has been posted before, I searched the archive on this forum the best I can, but did not seem to find a matching topic or I might have missed it.
Any help anyone can offer in shedding some light as to why the above problem is happening is much appreciated. I have the car booked in to have this problem looked at, but I would at least want to have an idea beforehand of what is happening here – specially from people who might have experienced the same issue and solved it successfully.
Thanks
