I'm with ryan. The compressor is working like it should but the bearings could still be bad. Now that being said I would take the belt off and spin the pulleys by hand and try to feel for a grinding bearing. Another thing you could try is use a mechanic stethescope and listen to the pulleys (don't stick it on the rotating parts but as close as you can to them).
Alright I will hopefully do this Thursday, but today my truck wouldn't start had to hold the accelerator down till about 1500 Rpms then in idled normally. I recently put new plugs, wires, cap and rotor and plenum so I'm thinking ingition coil or fuel pump my fuel goes down when I park on a hill, it was also 30 degrees last night
I know that so would that be a pump issue possible? I know 30 degrees is no where cold enough to freeze gas but possible do something to the pump, or fuel injectors? I talked to a guy I work with he suggested the tps sensor I replaced this about 2 years about but not since my plenum was fixed I cleaned my throttle body this past weekend when I did the throttle body mod.
No hopefully tomorrow since I'm off work I can empty it but looks like oil, you know when oil is in whateryou get that multi colored streak of fluid that is what this looks like. Hard to explain
