I got the car back yesterday, but had to go to work. I want to let it start from cold to see if they helped. What they did say is my refrigerant was low causing my compressor to cycle too often. Also my idle was too low. I told him about the minimum idle procedure I did. he said I had it right, but the reality is that setting it at 450rpm is too low. he didn't specify what would be adequate, but 450's too low. One good thing I got is a written 2-year/24,000 mile warranty on the repair. They don't do that at a dealer! It sounds to me like there's only so much can be done without altering the programming, so increasing the minimum idle is the regular guy's way to fix the problem. Also, I had a feeling I might be low on refrigerant, but it's been so burned-danged hot lately I'd hafta drive for an hour at night to get the system cool enough to know for sure. I won't be driving it today. Working 7 this week and I'm beat-dead tired. The A/C unit on my side of the bldg is out and we've been running the CNC stuff in 88* temps.(indoor) I'd call in and blow today off, but there's a special place in the unemployment line for those that do that too much, so I just don't do it at all. I'll try to get some seat time in and let you guys know how it's doing. |
