Hey guys,
I just bought a 93 2.3 N/A (Automatic) with 71k on it. Buttt, It has some flaws.
One thing I'm concerned about is the AC compressor. The pump was disconnected and I decided to take a look. I turned the pump and it would turn about 3/4 inch and get stuck, then I'd have to turn harder and it would break loose for another inch and stick again. Do you think the bearing is out on it? or the pistons inside the pump destroyed? I really don't want to buy a brand new compressor for 200 bucks haha. A bearing kit is only like 20 bucks, but I don't like throwing my money into the dark.
i could just as easy buy a used pump, but then I have to discharge refridgerant and evacuate oil, put in new refridgerant and oil, and hope to god my lines dont snap in the process.
Anyone have good experience in AC systems around here? I know its an odd question, but theres still people who rebuild them when the cost is so high for new.
Thanks!
