Hi folks,

I have a 92 Honda accord that sat around for approx. 1yr. I recently brought the car back on the road. I did a tune up (plugs, wires, filters the works). My AC was working fine for a few days then all of a sudden it stopped. I checked the belts and found the AC compressor belt broken. This is the same belt that drives the alternator, so now I'm dead in the water b/c the alternator is no longer charging the battery.
I had the belt replaced, and the everything worked fine for a day then the AC went out again.
I checked the belt and its fine, except for the belt is moving extremely slow compared to the power steering belt.
I had a mechanic look at the problem and he suggested replacing the alternator. I did that and the same problem still exists.

I've already spend a fortune on this car and its getting worst. Would anyone happen to know what my next move should be or what the apparent problem is ?

Thanks for your help.

 

Check the A/C compressor. Is it possible it seized and is causing the belt to drag?

 

I'd agree... Sounds like your A/C is causing the issue... You can try to get a belt for a car without A/C and skip the compressor, get a new compressor or a junk yard take off and/or start some diagnosing... The cheapest fix would be to get the Non-A/C belt and put that on and go without it. Or go to the search up top and type in "free Manual" and you'll find a post that contains a link to get free manuals that you can use for more advance trouble shooting/proper diagnoses...

welcome to the forums....i think your a/c compressor might be messed up...check that out and work from there.

 

Thanks to all you guys for responding,I appreciate. I'll have the AC compressor checked out and go from there.

Thanks.

 

i think the belt just might be loose
