Hi Randy,

Probably not too helpful, since what happened to you would be different in a 1994 car from what happened to me in a 1989 car being cooled with R-12 refrigerant.

I ran the AC the whole way from here to Rockford, IL, then Indianapolis, past your place in Ohio and home again by Sunday. Near the end of the trip, the AC was making a lot of noise, easily explained once I lifted the hood and watched the belt bouncing around.

Curious, that it was adjusted well when I left last Thursday, and none of the hardware was loose, I swapped the belt. The new belt is a Conti 13x975 left to me by Swedish Baklava after his wagon went to charity. Nice and quiet now, and the wear on the old belt was clearly visible once in my hands.

Coincidentally, the email link Rock Auto sends me has a trivia question about the Gates Mystery Man winning prizes for recommending belt replacements to secret shoppers of auto service back in the 60's.

Anyhow, with the new belt adjusted tight, it positions the suction hose right up against the AMM/throttle body (accordion) hose pushing it into the shock tower on this 89 244. I know I need to do something about that before long or it will wear holes in the air hose. Maybe I need another AC belt.
