SOURCE: a/c compressor not working added freon but it

Either the system is still low of freon,or the sensor (one of them)is bad.The sensors are on the high side of the system,liquid line.If you will get on chat,I can help you with this,it will take a while,I will need to know how much freon was added.And what the system is doing,is the ac clutch engaging,etc?Ask for ronicon,when you click on chat with,type my name in,roniecon,with your text,that you are writing .

SOURCE: air compressor wont come on after freon got low

1.Turn key to on position but do not start engine. 2.Press warmer and off button at same time until screen changes. 3.Press " FAN LOW " until ACM appears. 4.Press " FAN HI " until ACM codes appears. 5.Press " FAN LOW " until clear ACM codes appears. 6.Press " FAN HI " until codes clear is on the screen.
If all is in order the compressor should come on at this point when engine is started. I have never tried this but found information in trouble shoot guide for 1998 Deville Cadillacs. Hope it works for you. Good luck.

I have a 1998 Buick park Ave that just dies going down the road is it fuel pump or filter What is easiest way to find out

Your car is designed to run like a well-oiled machine, but sometimes that machine struggles in unexpected places. There’s not always a warning light to alert you of this, but sometimes your car will be driving fine at road speed, only to die when you slow down and stop. If your engine shuts off at low speed, contact a mechanic immediately for a thorough inspection.
Common reasons for this to happen:
Malfunctioning transmission
Low fuel pressure, dirty or defective fuel injectors, or broken fuel pump
Bad oxygen sensor or mass flow sensor
Loose or corroded wires in wiring harness
Faulty idle air control actuator
Clogged or restricted EGR Valve.

My Lincoln Continental 2000 Model oil light came on engine stopped after 25 feet. would not restart even though oil full. The car started the next day, but had a rattling sound at the top of the motor

Oil light is rather important it goes out if oil pressure is good comes on if oil pressure is low when it comes on damage is expected with continued operation like wearing of main bearings and pistons and cylinders can lead to a engine rebuild

My car shuts down going down the road with no warning. It starts back.

It could be that your vehicle is engaging the "safe mode" upon restarting. Auto Zone and Advance Auto will perform a complimentary diagnostic check which will most likely identify the issue. The trouble codes are stored and may be retrieved even when your car is running okay.

I have a 2006 Impala 118844 miles. engine power reduced light oil pressure low shut engine down starting disabled service throttle I have oil leak oil is full though.. Car drove this morning then shut off...

Your fuel pump power is controlled through the oil pressure switch, and if it is showing low pressure due to a leaking/defective oil pressure switch, it may shut off the fuel pump. Oil pressure switch failures are a common source for oil leaks. There could, and probably are, other issues going on. You never mentioned if the "check engine" light was on, and if it is, a scan would definitely be in order to determine the true cause of your problem
If it is not on, GM fuel pump failures are very common, as well as the vehicle security system my be having a programming issue. I would start by having the engine scanned (most Autozone locations do this for no charge) Good luck!

What causes oil pressure to drop to zero but goes with accelleration

If your oil is full, it's most likely electrical. If it's not electrical, then it's most likely something like a crack in the pickup tube, sucking air if I had to guess.

Light

This is the "Low Oil Pressure Warning" light. It is RED for a reason! When this light (or any RED warning light for that matter) comes on, pull over and shut the engine OFF at once. Allowing the engine to run with insufficient oil pressure can cause a catastrophic failure in mere seconds. Such a failure can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
This warning is most often the result of a very low oil level as indicated when checking on the oil dipstick. The engine oil level should be maintained as close to the "full" mark as possible - without exceeding it. Oil should never be allowed to drop below the "low" mark on the dipstick. If the oil level is shown to be between full and low, the light is probably coming on as a result of a faulty oil pump (the oil level should be checked with the vehicle parked on level ground, with the engine OFF). A faulty oil pump is unable to pump the oil with enough pressure to reach all the moving parts of the engine that require lubrication. Without proper lubrication, connected moving parts heat up, expand and seize. Moving parts are expected to move - not be prevented from moving.
If your engine shut down, it may be the result of some of the internal parts seizing. Hopefully, this is not the case. Check the oil level and top off as needed to bring the level up and attempt to start the engine and have the vehicle checked by a trusted mechanic.
Good luck!

The oil light came on whild driving my 1999 Lexus RX300 and the engine shut down. After pulling to the side of the road, I turned the igintion switch off and then on and the car started and I drove i

The oil warning light is telling you the oil pressure has dropped below 10psi which does not always mean the oil level is low.
When the oil pressure drops, the power for the fuel pump is cut for safety reasons. You would not want the fuel pump to keep going if you were in a wreck and the engine stopped but the key switch was still on.
It could be a faulty sensor, or you really could be loosing oil pressure.
If the light comes on again, you would need to have the pressure checked with a mechanical gauge.

2000 Mitsubishi eclipse the oil light came on and my car shut down. I added 1 quart of oil and it was full but the car still won't start.

The oil light does not indicate the car is low on oil (based on your discription) it indicates the oil pressure is low, the no start is most likely due to this low pressure and the fuel pump has been cut off to prevent damage to the engine from low oil pressure. Please have a shop locate the cause of the low oil pressure warning and repair it as needed. It could be a false light or a real one, which means if you drove it very far you may have damaged the engines bearings.

Oil pressure gauge reads 0, until you accellarate. When you shut motor off, wait for awhile, check oil, oil level is good. Restart engine, pressure is good. Start down the road the gauge drops to zero,...

This really sounds like your oil pressure sending unit. You don't say what engine you have but check your oil make sure its full and clear you don't want to loose the engine over this and you should n't but check it.The unit threads into the block some are in the back behind the distubtor some are low on the side in the front but they all thread into the block somewere And usely you need a speical scocket to remove it but there pretty standard one socket fits all of them Check at hte auto parts store when they pull it up on the computer ask to look at the screen and it will show you exactly where yours is good luck

If the valve lifters are quiet you most likely have oil pressure even with gauge showing "0".Sounds like the oil pressure switch going bad.I would try that first.
