im faster Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) 2003 eclipse gt First when stopped for 10+ seconds I get a smell of fuel when taking off for just a second... Also when Ac is on it seems a little louder than it should be (the compressor).. Also I get what feels kinda like a small miss but only 3000-3200 Edited June 3, 2011 by im faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more specific about when it happens, or is it after all stops that last for more than 10 seconds? That's not much to go off on your ac. Any other issues? You probably have a miss... You're being very vague, please try to be as specific as possible. There are a ton of things that can cause the issues as stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_golf Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 its possible the compressor might be going bad (louder) and that is in turn putting more strain on the motor making it feel like it losing power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too hard to tell with such little info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im faster Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Any mods to the fuel system? All stock Anything more specific about when it happens, or is it after all stops that last for more than 10 seconds? Just after longer stops.. not during a stop sign stop.. any time the car isles it seems. And I just noticed its idling at 600rpm.. Fresh tune up last week That's not much to go off on your ac. Any other issues? No it works fine. Just noisy when engaged.. You probably have a miss... Plugs wires dis. Cap and button are new nd it only miss with Ac on around the 3000-3200 mark... and its noticeable miss very subtle and it seems to make the end less smooth mote than a big miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_golf Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 do you smell the fuel when you first get in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im faster Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Makes sense.. any way to save a compressor before it completely fails? And fuel is only when taking off after idling. So I don't think its a fuel leak I can't smell it when getting in in the morning ot after sitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_golf Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Check your fuel return line for a leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Makes sense.. any way to save a compressor before it completely fails? ] "IF" and I mean if - as mentioned this is a bit vague, the compressor is failing - no. The only advantage to changing it before it fails (if it is an internal failure that results in lots a metal coming out of it - again big "if") - is you may not need a condenser due to it being filled with debris from the failure. But that's a bit of money to spend on two big "ifs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
