Hey guys and girls-

Ive been here for a while but didnt want to get in on discussions until I got the car i wanted.

Anyway, I got an 02 gt private party and I have been noticing something. When i get on the throttle, my AC becomes warm and there is a smell of buring rubber?? associated with it.

Is this normal? Should my AC be blowing warm air at WOT? What is that smell?? HELP!!!

Josh

The A/C shuts off at WOT... pretty sure this is normal. Not sure about the smell though.

If the a/c cools at normal speeds & the problem happens on acceleration....the burning rubber smell is prob the belt slipping on the a/c comp. pulley.

Check / adjust the tension.
