When turning on A/C recently heard and felt a thump or knocking noise in passenger side. If I leave A/C on and turn there car off, I hear the thump when I start the vehicle. Today, A/C decided not to cool for 5-10 min then thumped on. 14 FTC titanium with 59k, a bit early for A/C compressor to die?!? Will test pressure and leak check, any other ideas would be helpful, the compressor is not cheap?!?

I've owned both, replaced 15 PMC with 14 FTC titanium and haven't looked back. PMC- Pros-huge cargo area, side open rear doors, tigershark engine had awesome acceleration up grades, one of the best fwd cars I've driven in snow, car is set up for easy maintenance (ports for headlights, a/c compressor and belt drive accessible). Cons- no 3rd row, 2nd row windows don't roll down, 9 speed transmission is in class action lawsuit last I checked, loud road noise, 2nd row a/c was terrible, replaced front and rear shocks, brakes, rotors, windshield washer motor, both headlights at 38k miles, poor turn radius. We ran away from this PMC, but it has more functional build space than the FTC.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Titanium had rough idle once warmed up, no other issues. Ran fine, good acceleration, no hesitation other than at idle. It wasn't something that was a big deal, but, something that bugged me. The van has 56k miles on it so my immediate thought was spark plugs. I decided to clean the MAF and IAC before replacing spark plugs without much luck. I stumbled upon a part on Amazon while buying spark plugs, a new IAC. One of the descriptions was new part number due to multiple failures from original IAC. Bought it, replaced it in ~10 minutes and the rough idle is gone, I will still change spark plugs in the next few thousand miles, but feel much better now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EGX15TC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
