Hey fellas,
Long time observer, First time poster here. Quick question, I've got a EG4 (1995) and removed the complete AC system (condenser, evaporator, piping, compressor with bracket). Since then I've noticed the engine revs a bit more 'freely' which I don't mind but its not as smooth as before when idling. Its quite shaky and recently turned off twice when going downhill and turning at a roundabout (although I think this maybe due to me running the car with literally no fuel to see how far I can get). I filled up the car but still shaky, even shakes the shifter.
So, could this be because of removing the AC compressor bracket? as you may know this bracket is bolted to the bottom of the engine and to the chassis. Also when trying to remove the AC belt I turned the PS pump wheel with a wrench an inch or so therefore could this have thrown the timing off a bit (excuse my little knowledge if I sound dumb ) I ended up cutting the belt off instead of threading it out.
I read a tread on this site where someone asked if they should keep their AC bracket after they removed their AC system but there was no mention of engine becoming shaky.
Cheers
