Check your injector also stop putting on the Air/C till you work on this things. To avoid over heating too and might burn your top cylinder gasket. If care is not taking your mechanic will keep ripping you. Take it to ladipo and get a reliable mech to fix it. Your alternator should be checked to avoid running your battery down

your facon need replacement, the use of facon is to hold slow of your car when ever you on your ac. In the event your facon is faulty that is what usually happens. Now their is only two suggestions (1) either you increase your slow.. note doing so will consume more fuel (2) change the facon.

He can actually increase the idle running of the car, if he wants to. There is a provision for that, on the accelerator pedal of the car.

Some questions for you:
1. Have you modified the compressor of your car before, to another one? Have seen some AC techs, condemning ECU controlled compressor, for a manual one, with excuse that the later, works more efficiently. That is wrong, though.

2. Any previous engine work done on the vehicle before now? A weak engine, wont cope with a fully functional AC system, cos of the additional loads on the engine.

3. There is VSV componenet just i think, attached to the intake manifold, with a tiny vacuum pipe attached to it.
Some call it AC vacuum line. If the VSV sensor itself is bad, or there is a vacuum leak on the line, you will get this problem.

4. Is this vehicle a Nigerian use, or ?

5. Can you furnish us with some of the history of this problem? I believe you must have tried fixing it somewhere else before.


Hope this helps you.


Regards,
Joseph

Thank you Mr Joseph, for ur response.

The car is Nigerian use. I bought the car last yr April from someone. I don't really know if person has modified the compressor or not. Even if the person has worked on the engine b4. The mechanic that went with for the inspection b4 buying the car told me , the Engine has never being worked upon b4.
The car has always being shaken right from wen I bought it, wen mechanic say it is a minor thing that I just need to change the engine seat and change the coils. After changing it, the shaking still persist anytime I on the car and put it in gear, it will b shaken. But then The car doesn't turn off wen I on the AC even wen am in the traffic, but suddenly it begin to happen.

I told my mechanic he said I should b using it like that, that very soon the car will set itself. But am not comfortable with it. That is y I put on the nairaland here, if someone can help me out

Ask your ac technician to check your facon, he will know where it's located in your car. It's located inside the Bonet. very small in nature with a small pipe that discharge air

Car shaking is bad spark plugs,bad coils,dirty nozzles and blocked injectors.

Absolute bullshit from your mechanic. How will such readjust itself? Guy is shting away from diagnosing the root cause of the problem.
