Air Conditioning ON = Boost OFF

Air Conditioning ON = Boost OFF

Postby Colorado_Solara » Mon Jul 23, 2012 9:28 am

I am having some issues with my Lara. So when i'm at low speed I can turn the A/C on for a bit, then A/C light starts blinking and A/C shuts off... immediately after this the boost from the SC also goes totally away (like I push the throttle fully and no SC response AT ALL).... After shutting off the car and leaving it for a bit, then starting it back again, the boost comes back on.

My guess is that it's the A/C condenser.... or maybe the A/C pulley..... I just don't know

BUT, if I am going at high speeds (like on the highway) the A/C works just fine and no loss of boost.... Any Ideas my fellow Solara Guys?

You know the condenser has absolutely no mechanical connection to the engine right?

I'm thinking belt slippage.

The only reason that I am saying condenser is because the tech at GO Toyota said that if the A/C light is blinking then the condenser is bad...... So. . . New serpentine belt or new A/C pulley or new A/C condenser?

Try checking the refrigerant first if you haven't yet. I know the gen2's button will flash for belt slippage so that is possible too.

I haven't checked the A/C refridgerant...... I just don't know why the refridgerant would cause a loss of boost, though..... My humble guess would be belt slippage.... OR A/C pulley

Well...... i tried the refrigerant to NO avail.... I guess its the belt or the pulley...... Because I have the supercharger, trd bracket, and tensioner setup..... how long should my serpentine belt be???
