My compressor blew.. need help

[lilwheezy75]

I started my car saturday morning, the compressor kicked in like normal, then got extrememly loud... sound like it grinded, choked n turned off... hasnt turned on since... i have some questions and nees some help...

What year cars have the same air compressor.. so if i was to go to a junkyard what years can i pull from?

Is it fixable without buying a compressor.. or do you think it may have just died?

Can i do the work myself? or is there somethin more complicated to replacing it?

Can i drive around without the car raised?... or is it not a good idea??

Thats all pleasee help me!?

What year Continental is it?

And is it the A/C compressor or the Air Suspension compressor?

the air suspension compressor from a 94 continental

I am not positive.. but since 88-94 conti's are all pretty much the same basic design, you could try that year's range.

the air suspension compressor from a 94 continental

1988-1994 Conti all take the same suspension compressor.

E8OY-5319-B List $240.50 LVC $179.08.

You may want to check the relay in the engine compartment to be sure that is not the problem. Also, has the car lowered since it died? If not, then it's still holding air, that's a good sign.

Quick question... if i buy a used compressor off of someone.. should i buy a new drier... or is it ok to use my old one or the used drier with the used compressor?
