ok so i posted up before bout my manual 96 civic with 100k making a screeching noise. people suggested taht its the belt and stuff but that seems all fine. butttt i have realized that the screeching noise happens when i first turn on my AC to full power after my car has been idle in real hot weather. any clue why its making that noise???? any help would be appreciated. thanks
The noise is coming from the belt that drives the AC. The question is why. If you are lucky the answer is that the belt is worn, glazed, or loose. If you are not lucky, the compressor or compressor clutch is going bad. A low charge of refrigerant would not cause this but a too high charge could - but that could only happen if someone had physically added refrigerant - did you let someone service it recently?

Bubba, I agree with you. That was my first guess as well. If the new belt does not fix the problem--you may need a new AC compressor. That could be expensive so I hope the new belt solves the problem. Jason
