Re: Rough Idle with AC

I cleaned it about 9 month to a year ago. Can it get dirty again that fast?

Rough Idle with AC

I am having a problem with my 2.5. It seems that when the AC compressor engages the idle drops. It goes down to about 500 and feels like it is going to die. If I am not mistaking, the idle should...

Re: AC problem

Re: AC problem

Also, it use to make a "pop" noise when the AC would engage. It only happened the first time it engaged after I turned it on.

Re: grinding/rubbing sound

I will take a look at the brakes. The truck has 180,000 miles on it and had stock bearings so they were bound to go out. What do you mean lift the brake pedal? Just go down on the floor and...

It would probably be a good time to check your heater control valve too. Make sure the plastic is not decaying. Mine was brittle and broke while idling. Its a cheap part to replace.

Re: Replaced tstat no heat still.

Re: Raspberry Pi Car Computer

Your plan on turning it on and off is great. I would personally do that. Do you know how to wire and program the ATtiny85 or ATmega328 chips? Theyre pretty simple.

Re: Raspberry Pi Car Computer

You could run it off of AA batteries. It all depends on what kind of batteries you run and the load thats on it. It may not run very long but it all depends on how you wire the batteries.
