Ac does not blow cold, and a sound can be heard	Sign In

My sister has a 1993 GMC Jimmy. Her AC stopped cooling off the car, and just recently she says that if she accelerates while the AC is on, she hears a noise. Like a small click or metal tink, from what I could hear. I'm not good with cars and want to know if this could be something that could develop into a major issue or if it has an easier fix than taking it to a mechanic.

Is she having any problem with the air switching from the face vents when accelerating?

Nope, just not blowing cold air and sometimes there is a tink when she accelerates and the ac is on. she did say one vent wasn't blowing as much as the others.

Is accelerating the only time she has a problem with the AC or has that just quit altogether.

Is it blowing heated air or just ambient air temp?

It seems to be blowing the ambient air temp. the problem is constant but the noise only happens when she accelerates and then it only lasts a second.
