    Goodthings every one!!!
    i need a little help here with my Honda City 2000 Type Z. (80,000 plus millage)
    History of Present Illness:
    My main problem is, when my car got stuck in moderate to heavy traffic along edsa, my idle speed starts to drop from 800 to 300 - 0 causing it to stall, re starting it is not a problem (it starts easily). I also noticed that, during night driving, my idle speed drops to less than 800 when i turn on my headlights (with the aircon on) but of course only during mod traffic, pag continuous drive no problem. With the above conditions present, a concomitant onset of high pitch squeaking sound is heard from my engine bay in which i found out to be coming from my auxillary fan (aircon side near the compressor po). My temperature meter/gauge did not go past half way. pero iniisip ko padin baka overheat, so tatabi ako then after feeling ko ok na sya pag start ko na wawala na yung ingay tas ok na ulit yung engine. The thing is, when im doing long continuous drives like along nlex or mc arthur hiway bocaue area to pampangga, my engine's performance is doing really fine.
    ask ko na din po, normal lang ba talaga ang aircon ko halos umuusok sa lamig (pag todo yung thermostat), d ako nag number 2 dito sa kotse na to. basta always #1 lng tas pag gabi kalahati lng yung i set ko sa thermostat. sabi nung gumagaw ng aircon ok naman daw yun, ewan dko alam kung gano ka reliable yun

    Interventions previosly done:
    Had my radiator overhauled and cleaned with a washing machine like tub last August '08. tinggal din nila yung tinga daw yata yun
    Throttle body cleaned by car mechanic here in bocaue Aug '08
    Thermostat re-placed (genuine honda part) Dec '08
    Interventions done but to no avail, i still have the same problem po.

    Note: one might wonder why i choose not to have it fixed at certified honda car dealers... 1. a lot of bad feedbacks and comments about them are posted 2.i myself had a bad encounter with them 3. its way expensive

    So guys im asking for your help

    sir mukhang hindi nag aautomatic ang compresor ng aircon mo pa check mo sa mechanic btw try mo pag bumaba ang rpm mo shut off mo na lang ang aircon at babalik ulit sa dati yan ,,ganyan ang corolla 93 mod XE ko dati pero wag ka sir kahit tanghaling tapat ang lamig ng aircon isa pa nyan pag bumaba na sa 800 or lower pa ang RPM mo hirap na humatak ang makina but yung akin hindi ko na pinagawa hinayaan ko na lang na ganun wala naman naging problem aside lang sa sabi ng mechanic shut off na lang ang aircon para hindi mag yelo ang aircon at hindi magbara

    to the ts, since your near manila's north side, try bringing your city to forcedspeed in qc(http://s3.zetaboards.com/HCP/topic/7077483/1/#new). i heard a lot of good things about the shop & its owner. iyon nga lang you either have to go there early on weekends or you have to make an appointment first w/ them because their client list is pretty long so they say

    Thanks Guys..
    Problem Solved... Nag Hi Pressure pala Condenser ko, thats why nahihirapan makina ko. Kasi napakadumi lang nung aircon system ko. pinalitan din yung bearing ng aircon compressor, medyo may naririnig nako from that side e. ok panaman daw sabi nung gumagawa, pero pinapalitan ko na din para sure.

Badly in need of your help
