So couple weeks ago the AC Compressor seized up on me and Discharge line burst. I just got the time to replace them and now I'm getting a little vibration when the car is started. From idle clear through all rpms. Is there a connection between the AC Compressor and the vibration?

Kinda feels like spark plug problem or something. I checked all the wires and the plugs. They're fine. Could my timing got thrown off by the compressor not working? Prolly the belt stretched? Any suggestions?

Did you knock a connector off when changing the compressor and hose? Check all around it

Didn't think of that. I'll have a look.

All connections look fine. No vacuum hoses disconnected either. It's just strange that this happened right after the last problem with the AC.

so is the vibration occurring with or without the compressor clutch engaged??

bbbngowc

without. As soon as I start the car, there's the vibration.

I think I may have found the problem. I think one of my Spark Plug wires may be broken. While I was getting my AC charged up and watched as one of the wires bump against the headers and as it did, there was a small spark. I turned the engine off and moved the wire so that it didn't bump any more. The vibrations pretty much went away. I'm going to change the wires and see if it goes away completely.

get a decent set of wires and loom holders to keep them from falling on headers

you can pull the belt off for just a min and start it, no vibration means its not the crank and rest of motor, it would be an accessory causing the problem
