going to assume this is a nippondenso compressor

 

It appears to be a bad compressor....
The bearing already started making noise and the covering on the electromagnet is already melting.....

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that.....I was hoping for the best.

 

It happens.....lol
Thanks for all your help. I'm just going to buy a new one and take it from there...
The system should be vacuumed for at least 30 min, correct?
I was looking at my service book but it doesn't go into the a/c. If you know, how much oil should I pump into it once I replace the compressor?

 

Look in the "Common DIY Threads" sticky at the top of this section for a manual you can download (sect 22, pg 22). I will only hit the highlights, TX might chime in with additional info....

For the compressor, drain the old one and replace with ~ same amount removed. Also suggest replacing the filter dryer, add ~1/3 oz of oil for that.

 

Thanks for all your help...I'll let you know how it goes
