Default Air Conditioning

Some questions,

First off, on a couple of occasions my "Service Engine Soon" light has come on and the engine has died after starting the car when the a/c was on high - is this common?

Secondly, after the a/c has been on for a while, when I park up and turn the engine off, there's a fairly loud hissing from under the hood that lasts for about 10 seconds (not enough time for me to get out and pop the hood) - is this normal?

Thirdly, it hurts when I pee, is this normal?

:lol: ok first of all when you pee, is the car running? :lol:
as far as the ac my guess is - not common. i don't have the same model year as you but it sounds uncommon. have you been charging you own ac. just a thought , it sounds like it may be over charged. the hissing is most likely internal, pressure equalizing in the ac system. the stalling - if your ac is running a really high head pressure it could put a strain on the motor and maybe cause it to stall.
good luck

you might also replace the orafice tube filter on the ac system. if this is clogged, it will vent very loudly thru a pressure release valve

good luck david
