My Car Vibrates With AC On by gift53(f): 8:23am On Jul 06, 2021 |
I have a Toyota Camry (Muscle) and it vibrates when the is AC on. It gets worse when I use the break. I have given the car to a mechanic, he did somethings I don't know, collected money but the issue was never fixed. Please what could be the cause of this? |

Why not look out for your engine seatings. When the AC is on, the engine spins more thereby making the vibration to be noticed more. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Am nt a mechanic bt 4rm my experience as an auto_mobile electrician, I cn point out 2 tins dat cud b wrong wit ur car. 1) ur car may be having a mis_firing issue. Have ur mechanic check ur coils, coil plugs nd nozzles. He cn use a gud scanner 2 save stress nd time. 2) check ur RPM. If u hv a low RPM thatz below 10000 Or 15000 dependin on hw strong ur engine is, it cud also cause such problem. U shd nt over_look ur engine sittings too. Bt I doubt dey cud b d cause. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Engine seater don break,so when compressor picks it tilts the engine a bit and when u apply brake the engine tilts a bit. Engine seater bad.u will hear a knocking sound when slowing down,turning at a curve,esp with ac on. Happened to me b4 I knew it,diff mechanics have drained me. Scanner was used but problem still persistent 5 Likes |

Confirm if you have a manual compressor or automatic compressor. 4 Likes |

Promzy99: Oga how can a car RPM be 1000 or 1500 at idle? Kilode... @op since the vibration only occurs when AC is ON, I guess you have a manual compressor that's drags down your engine, I used to experience this when I had peoguot compressor but since I changed to "Big for nothing", it has been working fine for close to two years now with minimal vibration and rpm is between 650 - 750 at idle with AC on. Don't allow any kazeem adjust your RPM 2 Likes |

Aanumi16:While u maybe correct with ur own xperience, read again my explanation. I stated clearly dat d RPM Could be regulated dpendin on d engine's conditions. I hv seen vehicles raised to 2*1000rpm at idle, so dt whn u put on ur AC it wud settle at 1*1000rpm or less. We r tryin 2 solve a problem nd nt arguing. Thanks! 2 Likes |

Please whatndoes this alarm mean

Re: My Car Vibrates With AC On by Kirkman: 3:23pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
gift53:The first sign is a low tire pressure warning sign and the 2nd sign is a check engine warning sign that needs to be checked as soon as possible with a very good diagnostic scanner to pull out the codes. Don't allow your mechanic do a guess work without first scanning that vehicle to know what exactly is wrong with the vehicle and where the problem is coming from. |

Aanumi16: correct my guy .. chop knuckle. the simple issue is the car is most likely fitted with a wrong AC. the ECU is not compensating enought for the added load (Compressor). when you also apply brake, you load it even more. they don't know adjusting RPM will only mask the problem and never fix it. |
Re: My Car Vibrates With AC On by abatically(m): 3:06pm On Jul 09, 2021 |
Promzy99: Adjusting the rpm manually does not solve any problems. RPM of modern cars are controlled by the ECU and should not be manually adjusted. Even if u adjust this rpm to 2,000 it still won't stop the vibration when Ac is turned on provide he has changed to manual compressor |

gift53: Don't go to mechanic yet, if you have changed battery recently or disconnected your battery, you need to reset the idle, it's a common thing with Camry muscle from 2007, the car will be vibrating. This is how o corrected mine. Put your car in Park. Engage the parking brake Turn the ignition on Turn it off Then start Step on the brake Put the gear on D Remove your leg from the brake Don't disengage the parking brake Let the car run for 5min. It should reset your idle, hopefully the car will stop vibrating. It worked for me. Don't let mechanic adjust the RPM manually o. 1 Like |

Kirkman: Thanks for this. My mechanic has done a scan and these are the codes he gave me: PO420 PO113 B2799 B1794 B1790 C278 C1241 Don't even know what to do with these codes. The alarm disappeared after the scan though and he said I should go and if it reappears, I bring back the car. |
Re: My Car Vibrates With AC On by gift53(f): 9:34am On Jul 10, 2021 |
MARKone: Thanks, I didn't change battery. Infact the car was bought just 2 months ago (tokunbo) and I noticed the vibration when I drove it. It's my first car and I don't really know some of things to check in the car and I don't want mechanics to exploit me. I will try this today and hope it fixes it. |
Re: My Car Vibrates With AC On by Kirkman: 10:05am On Jul 10, 2021 |
gift53: Those codes will definitely re-appear and you can Google the codes to have an idea of what each problem means. |
