If I understand your description the clutch is not engaging? Possibly the refrigerant is low and the pressure switch is preventing it turning on. You can force the clutch by disconnecting the plug on the compressor and applying 12 volts. This is a quick check only; you will still need to ensure the system is properly serviced to prevent any chance of damage.

Pulling engine and transmission - 94 Geo Metro

P

PatRussell on Nov 25, 2006

I am trying to pull the engine and transmission from a 94 Geo Metro but cannot get the drive shaft disconnected from the differential. Is this something that should take a lot of force? I am working on stands so getting a lot of leverage is not possible but I do not want to damage anything in the tranny. I am planning to put this engine/transmission in my current Metro. I have the Haynes manual and Metro repair manual from Chevy but neither really tell me how much force should be applied. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Pat RussellRead More

1995 Honda Accord engine dies intermittently

M

MisterSym on Jan 12, 2007

I own a 1995 Honda Accord LX 4-dr 4-cylinder automatic with about 80,000 miles. Fuel-injected. In the last week, the car has died on two separate occassions (a couple days apart) while driving and in motion. There was no sputtering, etc to indicate that the engine was about to die. The electrical kept working just fine after death. The first time it happened was a day after I got an oil change & minutes after I filled the gas tank. I was almost at work after 35 mins of driving, going about 40mph, driving on level surface. No warning, engine just dies. I keep rolling, put the car in neutral, and try restarting. No-go after several attempts. I finally get to a side street, roll around the corner, and pull over. I put it in park & try starting it a couple more times, still a no-go. Engine tries to turn over, but never catches. Finally, I turn the car _completely_ off, call work (gonna be late), and check under the hood. No obvious problems. I get back in the car two mins later, try to turn it on again, BAM! Car turns on, no problem. Rev the engine, no problem. Drive the two blocks to work, no problem. Sit in the parking lot & let it run, no problems. No problems for the next day & a half. This morning on the expressway, doing 70mph on almost level surface, after driving for 20-25 mins, engine dies again w/ no warnings. Again, I quickly throw it in neutral (electrical still working), try to turn it over a few times, no-go. Still rolling, I turn the car _completely_ off, kick it back on, and try starting it. BAM! Car starts again, no problems. For the next 20 mins to home, no problems. Take the car to school, no problems. My first thought was that it might be a fuel-injector issue (silt problem in the gas tank, clogged fuel filter, fuel injector electronics, etc) since after I turned car off completely, killing the electrical, and tried it again, the car starts right up. Take it to my mechanic & explain the symptoms, he thinks I'm wrong, and is sure it's a distibutor problem. No overheating or extremely cold weather going on. Any thoughts/suggestions? Please try to explain why you think it might be so, as I really like to understand what I'm doing to fix a problem & why it is occurring. Thanks.Read More
