    Minor VX issues?

    Hi everyone!

    Idle Air Control Valve - Cleaned. (was replaced but didn't fix the idle issue so I returned it)
    Fuel Pressure Regulator - Replaced.
    Fuel Pressure Regulator Hose - Replaced.
    Fuel Filter - Replaced

    So, the rough idling is still present. Its weird though, it has to do with something around the Idle Air control Valve. EVERY single time I spray carb cleaner in that section the rough idle stops for a couple days then comes back. I also keep cleaning the Control Valve too. I went to the extent of replacing the valve but still no difference. I'm thinking its something electrical? I have to at least turn the car off for 5 seconds or more, then start it up and its fine... no 2k-3k idle rpm. Anything before 5 seconds it starts up at 2-3k rpm.

    So I found out the ERRRR noise is from the A/C compressor. The belt tensioner pulley too was making some noise, took that apart and found a little bit of sand in there. Washed it thoroughly with WD40 and added some grease now I notice less noise overall. Still got the compressor to go...
    Anyone know where I can get a replacement for a decent price? OR would taking apart the AC to replace the bearing part be worth it? AC works fine but that noise is becoming really annoying and worse... Forgot what the bearing was called ATM. Though when the AC is turned on its not so loud but you can hear it a little. Just a tiny bit, maybe its normal when turned on at least.
    Here is a video of the 'err' sound(s). Listen carefully

    ABS - Someday i'll get to that. But not any time soon.


    Thanks so much guys!
    Randy.
