a very alarming noise

Hi All.
I have a problem with my scorpio 2,0 dohc 16valve. the car runs great but occasionally there is a metallic klonk from the engine and the car won´t hardly move for a few minutes. It happens mostly when the engine is running below 2000rpm. its quite alarming when it happens as the whole car is shaking.
my guess.- please don´t laugh.. is that it could be a cylinder or maybe the gearbox (coupling- is that the word?) sorry about my english
best regards

Could be clutch related if manual........if automatic, then possibly a sticking autobox solenoid  ...... 
Does it happen in drive or when stationary ?

hi. thanks for the reply. I´m sorry for this delayed response. It´s an automatic. It happens mostly when the car is is stationary but also sometimes when driving slowly or fx uphill
Any advice is most welcome as Im hesitating to take it to the local ford garage (they´re so d.. expensive
best regards

Try it with the aircon off then  ....If you think the compressor is suspect then, with the engine off , try to turn the clutch wheel (on front of compressor) by hand, it should turn quite easily

Hi Remove relay No 24 from the fuse box passenger side this will isolate the air compressor, then see what it is like the relay is blue in colour had a similar problem with mine turns out it was indeed the compressor that had clutch engagement problems.
Good Luck. Kenboy
