AC Compressor Rplcmt Advice- 1993

I am 90+% sure that my AC compressor has locked up. It smoked the AC clutch (smoke rolled out of it like a locomotive). I'm running with it unplugged right now.
Anyway, I'm considering a new replacement assy. from Rockauto.com; a 4-Seasons Premium #88967 (2-yr warranty & 10 cylinders).

Re: 94 Bonneville won't go over 40 MPH

Yes, and it could also be running in the "limp home" mode, if it is having an ignition control problem. Often, the engine feels like it is going to "fall out." 94-95 has that goofy OBD vintage (OBD-I with OBD-II connector) that makes it tough to check diagnostic codes without a plug/wiring adapter ...

Re: still a slight vibration..?

Even though you have replaced all those ignition system parts there is an accepted test (from FSM) that will help you find or eliminate an ignition misfire. Basically, here it is:
1. Start it up with the IAC disconnected and go to your coils. It says not to run for more than a couple minutes with ...

Re: Code 41

I think my 93 is the same.
Sensor signal feeds into ICM on WHT/BLK wire. Is probably next to last wire on one end.
ICM feeds signal out to PCM on Black wire.
On the way to the PCM, it also goes through the 8-way connector, which should be near the passenger, rear side of the intake manifold, on ...

Re: won't stay running

That is often used for quick troubleshooting. If you unplug the MAF sensor with the motor idling, and it dies, that is an indication that the MAF sensor IS working... that it is good.

Re: Complications after messing with coolant elbows

Something that worked for me when nothing else would was a suggestion from Bill Buttermore. Using enough socket extensions to get the breaker bar outside the fender, support the outer end on a jack stand (adjusted and blocked to the proper height). This will allow you to get more grunt on it or use ...

Re: Transmission or Ignition for Shudder? (sorta long read)

Try cleaning the MAF sensor w/spray MAF cleaner (NOT carb cleaner!). A dirty one will cause a nasty dead spot right off idle, mainly when "stabbing" the throttle hard. It's not as noticeable with a slower acceleration.

Re: how to access passenger side relay/fuse panel

Just to share what I did... in case you run out of options. This is kind of a weird way to do it, but once you get your hand up in there and try to navigate it might make sense.
I was able to remove the relay by feel.
But then realized I didn't notice the pin alignment. So cursed and used the one ...

Re: Gauges going nuts

Sometimes you can reform the female pins on the harness connector to grip tighter. I would recommend concentrating on the pins for the Pink/Black and the Black/White wires, which is your main power and ground feeding it. Worth a shot.

Re: Tensioner pulley question

I have a 93 SSE (NA). I was able to replace just the plastic pulley. Mine would "jump" considerably when I gassed it in Park (bearing drag). I had trouble getting the plastic one from Autozone to work (would lock when I tightened the LH bolt), so ended up with a metal one, for an SC motor, I believe.

Re: won't stay running

If you know anybody that has a fuel pressure gauge, a good place to start is checking the fuel pressure at the rail. You, first, check it with just ignition on. Then monitor it when you start it. A ballpark figure is 38-42, depending on the mode. Let us know what you come up with there.

Re: 96 Bonne SE outta gas and now won't start

Since it is cheap insurance, one thing you might consider having with you is the exhaust pipe donut gasket that goes between the ex. manifold and pipe. Although, you may get by with just loosening the two nuts to provide some play and avoid screwing it up when you move the exhaust over.

Re: 94 Bonneville doesn't want to stay running

TPS - yes, that would cause a no-start condition. Cam sensor would too...it's odd that you have both going on at the same time.

EGR - that *shouldn't* cause a no-start.

Changing the TPS is easy, and the EGR valve is easier still. Cam sensor's rarely fail since all it is, is a magnetic pickup. BUT ...
