Default What could be causing this? **video**

Ok, i've been posting about this issue for a while now and got a good video of the issue. It seems that if I turn the wheel at idle the RPMs drop near 500 and when I turn on the AC it drops to 500 and then to 250.

Is this a tuning issue or something else?

I think its called Idle air control. When u turn on the ac it should idle the car up.

I still think its some kind of power issue. IAC could be a culprit also though. Mine dips a little when i turn the a/c on but after a few seconds it goes back to normal.

Zero out your a/c torque

Add some airflow to your main idle airflow table

Its because of your cam. ( From what I remeber your running a serious one too)

My car did the same thing just not as bad ( my cam was milder then yours) . What I had to if I wanted to run the a/c was set it on while the car was parked and idling. And let the car learn it self for about 30-60 seconds. Made it alot better .

Go back to your tunner see if he can dial it in better

I have the opposite, if i turn the a/c on while driving i have no problems at all, if im idling and sitting still it needs to learn the idle. its definetly not as bad as whislers though
