03 Cruiser, when I turn on the A/C, which is doing good, no problem with it, But every few seconds car sounds like it is farting and smells funny, car has 75k. 2.4 no turbo. Sounds like it coming from under engine on passenger side. it really blows a lot of air. Sound is loud and causes the engine to really slow down like turning on a/c at idle, then it smooths right back up until next time. it only does it with the a/c on, rest of the time if a/c off runs beautiful.

Sounds like the A/C might be blowing off the high pressure safety valve. Try leaving the air off. If the noise goes away, you need to have it repaired before using the A/C again because you will destroy the compressor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

It needs to be diagnosed properly to determine what is driving the pressure so high. the valve is just a safety release so nothing else explodes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
