riiiiiiiight... um, the a/c runs off the enging. turning it on with the engine all reved up is like trying to jump onto a spinning merry-go-round. it doesn't work too well and will totaly f up your a/c. i had a 94 civic before and the a/c stopped working after about 2 months of my mom driving it because she didn't know that.
i wonder if breaking your a/c like that would be a warranty repair or not

Rep Power: 0 On that note... I noticed that the AC in these vics are a little week. The fan that is. When I have it on Max (&recirc), it doesn't seem to blow all that hard. At least not as strongly as in my old corolla. Is it my imagination?

Rep Power: 0 i know exactly what you're talking about. but everyone's right. turn it on when you are idling.
what's weird is when im at idle, and the ac is on, the rpm's will drop to literally about 100-150. its as if the car is choking. it almost stalls like if you stall it while its in gear.
anyone know what im talking about?
EDIT: hey Matador, where in phx do you live? what does your car look like, i might have seen you around.

yes, this is normal with the ac system. the "click" you hear is the a/c compressor turning on.[hr]
