i noticed a loud noise that appears then goes away then appears then goes away in the engine bay of my 99 ranger. I opened up the hood and noticed that the top pulley on the right side of the engine stops while the belt is still moving, then goes, then stops, then goes and continues that process. It doesn’t look too healthy, looks like that process can harm the belt, as it continues to grind on the pulley even when the pulley seems to have pulled an e brake. I asked a couple friends and they were saying it looks like it’s the ac clutch. I was wondering if that’s what it is and why it’s in the stop and go loop? If it helps, my ac only works at max setting, does not blow anything in all the other settings. I’m not a car guy if you can’t tell so I have no clue what I’m dealing with!
