hi, when i turn on the ac it makes a annoying squeeking sound and i can see my rpm decrease to the point where stall. i was woundering if i have to tighten the ac compressor because it seems pretty loose. if thats the case i want to know how can i adjust the ac compressor and how can i get into the tight spot to adjust it. hope to hear from you. thank you soo much.

Are you talking about the belt or the actual clutch/compressor?

The squeeling is either the idler pulley, the belt or the clutch itself. Can you explain what exactly is loose?
