Why does my car shut off when I turn on my AC?

When the AC is turned ON, the valve opens to flow more air into the engine, increases Its Idle RPM, and also produces more power and vice versa.

Click to expand… If it occurs before a load, a short to ground would mean a completed circuit with no resistance, causing current to spike and burn up whatever is in the path (hopefully a fuse.)

Why does my Honda Accord shut off when I start the car?

When a timing belt snaps, the engine no longer builds the compression it needs to run. Try to start the car, and listen to the sound it makes. If the tone is significantly different than the standard pulse you’re used to, this may be an indication that the engine is no longer building compression.

What to do if your air conditioner pressure switch is bad?

Leave the engine running and turn on the air conditioning full blast. Make sure you have the windows open so the air doesn’t cycle itself.
