My 97 ford crown vic. engine will shut off when the ac is turned on what's happening?

The engine will stop when I turn the ac on. I can figure it out. FAn will start working, but ofcourse the ac itself will not cool, because the engine goes out.

With the engine off, key off, try to turn the front part of the AC compressor (not the pulley and belt, but the front part of the clutch). If it cannot be turned, the compressor is seized up and needs to be replaced. If it turns freely (there should be a little resistance, but turn easily by hand), the problem may be electrical- A short in the wiring, or defective engine ECU.

SOURCE: Crown Vic will turn over but not start

first do you hear your fuel pump running? if you don't more then likely the relay may have went bad. second check your connection to your coil's..make sure there clean and tight..and getting back to the fuel problem if you hear your pump running then it could be the fuel filter clog...try this and let me know....

SOURCE: 1988 Ford Crown Vic Strange Idle

When you turn the key on does the check engine light come on? If not it may be burned out. It sounds like a MAP sensor or an O2 sensor is bad. I would suggest taking it to autozone as they do free diagnostic and seeing if a code comes up. If it is a sensor it should, if not it may be the idle sensor not reading right in the ECU. More than likely it is one of the sensors though.

This is caused by the IAC valve. Over time the valve becomes gummy and inoperative. Get it replaced and the problem is solved. IAC stands for idle air control, hence the stalling concern.

SOURCE: 97 Crown Vic transmission issue

Check the transmission linkage cable that runs from the steering column under the dash to the trans under the car. make sure that the cable is not damaged and that all connections are tight.

Hi billberger2

When the air conditioner turns on, the car computer also increases the engines revs to counter the load of the air con. It should not generally be noticeable however. Will do some research to see why. :)

Yes. You need the ecu that came with that engine. Did you switch intakes? The f 150 4.6 has a taller intake and I believe the stroke is different. I would switch the throttle position sensor too.

I dont see if the turn signal light has to do any thing with the engine shutting off, make sure the IAC idle air control valve is working, air filter is good, fuel filter is good and IF your vehicle has a power steering pressure switch then that could be causing it but with 1985 Crown Vic I dout it.

Has anyone bothered to scan the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) or the GEM (General Electronic Module) to see if there are any fault codes? Does the engine run OK when this happens? I had a Grand Marquis that was doing something similar and the modules had several U-codes. Finally found the problem in the Transmission Range Sensor - it was shorting out the data line.

Crown Vic wont turn over.

I would check the plugs around and on the engine. Also check to see if the inertia switch in the trunk was tripped, that cuts off power to the fuel pump in an accident.

Have a 97 crown vic and everytime I turn a corner

I would look under your car and look for gas stain's, it's either going to be the filler or vent hose's or the o-ring where the fuel pump goes into the gas tank.

What happens when oil sending unit goes bad? Oil gauge was floating when I hit my breaks. Engine stopped and won't turn over. It's a 1997 Ford Crown Vic, 4.6L SFI, OHC V*.

cant fake oil pressure, if its ok now don't worry about it. check connector and make sure its on correct and clean. If you start getting low pressure consistanly then get it looked at.

Trying to install a subwoofer on a 97 crown vic

Make sure you are using a 12volt DC system in both units. It may sound simply but an AC sub may need an inverter. Also check grounds.
