1999 Isuzu Rodeo |
|
|
I have two problems. The first is when leaving my truck idling for say 5
minutes, the check engine light appears, the fuel light flashes and the
fuel gague rises to full. The second problem is that the A/C will only
blow cold air when the truck is moving. While the truck is idling the air
seems very warm. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Is your fan by your radiator working?

What about the temp gauge? Is it doing anything strange?

Not sure about the CE light or the fuel gauge, but I've had A/C
systems that blew warm when idling.
Here is my story: My car when idling would blow warm air. I was told
the a/c's capacity is reduced with lower rpms, so just figured cost of
having a small car, and I would talk to a shop guy about possible
problems later. With time, the warm air increased and I could hear
the idle sounds change. After getting to a shop the refrig was low,
and reduced the capacity of the cooling power. I had a tiny
leak(throught a fill valve), with time the pressure reduced enough the
compressor wouldn't stay engaged at low rpms, and cycled. At higher
rpms its output kept a pressure switch happy and ran well.
So........ I would have a friend/mechanic check if you have an a/c
problem. How old is the truck?

No, I have been looking at the temp gauge, and it has stayed in a normal
range. Thanks! |
