Car shakes crazy when aircon on

[tangyoonee]

Hi.
Does anyone know why the car shakes when the aircon's on?
Is it because of engine conversion?
can it be fixed?
Let me know if someone can fix it
cheers

Does it happen on idle? cause aircon eats up juice causing your idle to drop and get shakey.

Idle might be too low or your alternator is too weak

Are you running aftermarket engine mounts or an Engine torque damper or a solid 3 point strut bar?

What type of engine conversion?

yeh it shakes on idle not when going. Idle seems not low. maybe the alternator.

Its normal then if you have stiffer mounts, all the engine vibartion and movement is transferred through the chasis/cabin/steering wheel.

It particularly gets worse with the A/C on.

Should idle at 700-800rpms.. see if it dips down 500rpms when your put the aircon on (make sure this is after youve driven for at least 10 mins and the car is warmed up)

your issue is your engine mounts, nothing else... the change in RPM, and the vibrations that are resultant are being transferred through your chassis as Chi said earlier...
