Default Im pissed, my A/C died!!!

Its 6:00pm here and 97 Degrees!! I was driving about 30 minutes ago. I was accelerating quickly around town, reving up to proabably 6000rpm. I had my AC on max and in the highest fan speed. I think I burned out my AC compressor. What do you guys think?? This sucks! I am sweeting my *** of.

If the compressor is noisy then that's it. You might have burned a hole on an A/C line on your passenger side header. I did that once while racing around.

It had a burning smell come through the air vents right after it stopped working.

When my line burned up it smoked a little bit due to the oil in the refrigerant. Check your pressures.

dude can you say swap azz?
not sure exactly....Is it still under warranty? the majority of aftermarket mods will void your warranty. If so, you should mention to a dealer that it should only void your warranty if the aftermarket part caused the problem. (and i don't think any of your mods would have effected the AC)
Make sure nothin is leaknig from your lines. I dont know. I dont know diddly ABOUT ac ****. All i know if its 97 degrees, your ****in *** is stickin! Might as well sit on a ice pack, and strap one on your forehead while your at it! Good luck!

let your car idle and put the ac on max. listen to the engine. when the compressor engages your engine will rev up a little and when it disengages it will move also. if you dotn hear it then its probly your compressor.

I have been lazy and I havent poped the hood yet, I just wanted to get in the ac and relax. But usually when I turn the AC on I hear a "thunk" when the compressor or some sort of shutter closes and I feel my car encounter resistance and kidna slow down. But when I turn it to AC it does nothing, just blow hot air.
