    Rust powder in A/C lines

    Right now we have the engine and trans out and the engine bay was just painted. I have most of the A/C lines out and I'm cleaning the outside of them up. I noticed that this orange powder keeps coming out. Then I shook the A/C drier and it sounded like it had sand in it. I thought it might...

    Coolant Overflow

    Occasionally I hear this whistling noise. Finally figured out that it was the coolant spraying steam/water out of the hose. Only happens if the car is idling for a while not getting an airflow from driving. I noticed the tube ends just before the hole near the bottom of the car. It seems like...

    A/C Compressor

    The A/C in the car has never worked since I've had it. The blower works fine, but the A/C compressor doesn't engage. Will it do this if it is low on refrigerant or is there something else to look into?
