I was sitting in the burger king drive through ,A/C on ,all of a sudden I hear and feel a bang! The air starts blown warm, I figure the compressor blew out. I get my food start heading home ,the car is bucking wildly on acceleration,and starts overheating. I look under the hood, the belt is fine, so I dont know what is happening.
I just made it home before it got too hot.
I hear some kind of noise but not sure what it is. I have to wait til monday to get it towed to my favorite mustang place. If anyone can think of what it maybe I would be grateful!
Yeah, it sounds like one of the pulleys or something on the front has an issue...I gotta tell you that story has a very bad sound to it...let us know the outcome

Sounds just like what happend to me a couple years back. Idler pulley bearing was getting noisey but I just ignored it. At a light heard a loud whack, the idler pulley bearing gave out and casued the a/c to blow warm, no p/s, volt's dropped, temp raised etc.
Hope it's just an accessory issue on your part as well...
I think you guys maybe 100% right ,that it maybe a pullie. I wont know until tomorrow but I trust from the comments here that it may very well be that.
I just dont have the means of repairing that ,or a way of raising the car since it may be one of the lower ones. Thanks again for the helpful replys
Okay I got the diagnosis on the problem here.
The engine fan is toast, the bang I heard was the 50amp fuse that blew out.
When the fan goes so does everything else , A/C , overheating, no acceleration. Just in case you guys have this problem you just look not only at your belt, but check engine fan fuse!
hmm, well i do know a mechanic that drives a kia and around town here there is a old lady that drives a Z06. What does that tell ya?
I don't think you have to be an ace mechanic to drive a performance car. For me, i wanted to learn all that i could about cars in general when i was a kid and glad that I did.

It's time to upgrade your entire cooling system now. Might as well since your tearing it apart anyways right?
On a side note, not everyone is a gear head here, some of our members just like the cars. Let's respect that
