Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting kwatnel Novice Jul 1, 2013, 1:52 PM Post #1 of 4 (1777 views) Engine surging Sign In I have a 1986 Honda Accord Hatchback, 2000cc, automatic, PW, a-c with 163,000 miles. I earlier wrote about a vibration in the car body, got a few ideas here, and finally took it to a mechanic who looked at the front end, struts, mounts etc. and couldn't find a problem; not sure what to do next. Another issue with the car is that it surges with the a-c on; occasionally it won't start the surging the first few minutes of operation, but it stops when the a-c is off. My only thoughts are the a-c clutch and perhaps a relay; not sure how to check either of these. Comments are welcome.

This compressor is cutting on and off fairly rapidly.
