Default H/C cars and Air Conditioner

Guys I have a 02 camaro h/c but I seem to have a problem with the idle, the car is just horrible with or with out the AC on, yesterday I was driving back from Ontario,ca (35 mile drive) and when I got off the 57 the car idled all the way to 2500 rpms and stayed there for couple of minutes until it finally settled at 900.

I took it back to the tuner three times because the car was idling so bad when the a/c as on that it stalled, tuner said to wait a minute or so after you turn the car on and then turn the A/C on. Even doing so the car's idle dips so low 80% of the time and stalls with out A/C on if I had the A/C on it would stall 99.9% of the time.

I noticed that after a full throttle run (with out a/c on) when I come to a stop the car's idle dips so low that 80% of the time it stalls.

At first I though the IAC might be bad, or I was reading that the TPS might also be off(I checked the voltage with multimeter and it was fine, I dont have a computer to check what the IAC is doing ...). I've also swapped IAC's with another LS1 non cammed car and the problem still presents it self.

At this point im a little frustrated, what else can I try ??

What your describing is basic tuning adjustments. Who's your tuner?

I think I might have been the one who tuned your car like I told you last time you left if there was more continued problems that I would need you to leave the car with me do I find out the root problem .....I have tuned many wilder setups then yours with great success, I believe there is a electrical or mechanical issue beyond the tune... But when you come to the shop and wait for it's very hard for me to have anytime to diagnose the problem. Please bring me the car and leave it so I can take care of your issue ... Call me if you have further issues

I'm glad to see you step up Ryne. Definitely one of the best LSX shops in SoCal. Hopefully I will be seeing you soon to get my cam and tune

I once had a little problem with my A/C not wanting to let my car idle. Ryne fixed it up for me no problem. It just took a little trial and error on the tune and everything was good.
