Hello all, I recently acquired a 92 Ranger from my brother. It's not a bad little truck, it just needs some minor work.
I noticed when the engine is running(4.0 V6 by the way), the a/c compressor clutch is always spinning, even with the blower off. Disconnecting the wire lead to the compressor has no change at all. If this were the case, would this part somehow "drag" the engine down? Truck has a habit of sucking fuel down like there's no tomorrow and it has some hesitation problems when first started. I already cleaned the MAF sensor and that made it run smoother, I'm just wondering if the compressor is putting any strain on the engine being engaged like that. Also, I can safely say the air conditioning does not work anyway, it just blows warm.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
