hi guys,

baka na-encounter nyo na, ito symptoms:

1. with the aircon turned on
- idling is erratic, bumababa
- hirap ang hatak when accelerating
- after depressing the accelerator, idle goes down na halos mamatayan na ako ng makina and there is a clicking sound na parang sinisinok ang makina
- every now and then, meron yung clicking like above (feeling ko pag nag-engage na ulit yung sa aircon)
- there is this soft whistling sound coming from the aircon vent

2. with the aircon turned off
- idling is normal
- hatak is normal
- no clicking sound
- no whistling sound

malamig naman ang aircon. dinala ko na kay mang mario nung saturday, sabi niya hindi daw aircon problem. i notice na yung clicking sound after depressing the accelerator comes from the compressor, merong parang plate dun (magnetic clutch ba tawag dun?) na parang nag-stuck. i showed him this. i tried lubricating it with a little wd40, to no avail. sabi niya, sa idle up daw po. kailangan itaas yung idling. tama po ba? kung sa idling edi dapat even with aircon turned off, may problem pa rin?

sorry, hindi ako masyadong marunong sa cars. btw, my car's a civic 98 M/T

thanks, guys.

PS: sir speedy, any thoughts? balak ko kasi dalhin sa inyo pero sana may idea na ako ano problem beforehand. thanks.
