QuestionQUESTION: well first we had our a/c compressor clutch go out and no choice but to drive it 50+ miles home it lugged on the engine and now we replaced it w/ a new delphi and the clutch wont engage there is still a drag on the engine it wont take any more freon either.and I belive because of the drag the cruise wont engage.So Im wondering if its the compressor a fuse a relay or what please help.we have spent 600+ bucks on this only for it to not work.

ANSWER: Need YEAR and MODEL of vehicle.
You need to evacuate all the freon from the system and remove all the atmospheric air from the AC system via a vacuum pump and then add the correct amount of freon to the system.
Did you utilize a vacuum pump ?.

QUESTION: its a 1992 cadillac deville we did put a vacume on it for about 30 minutes before trying to put freon in it,even now after we put the new comressor on it the engine still has drag no power so I figure thats why the cruise wont come on,if you punch it it doesnt down shift or anything,
ANSWER: Check vehicle for an exhaust restriction.

QUESTION: it didnt happen until the old compressor went out could it be just a coincidence,or the spark plugs or catalatik converter???also do you have any answers about the clutch not engaging on the new a/c compressor??any advise further would help thans

AnswerWith the new compressor not being engaged, Are you still having acceleration problems ?.
What was the fault with the old compressor ?. Was it engaged all the time ?.
what you need to do is try putting the system on DEFROST to see if the compressor engages so you can put freon in it.
If this does NOT work, We can either use the climate control panel to override the compressor relay and or jumper the compressor relay in order to put freon in the system. You will need to e-mail: onlineautohelp@msn.com for pictures and easy directives to fix this problem.
