Default Throwin a code, help please!

Hey guys, ok quick background.

I drove to philly and back this weekend and it was hot so i used the AC (which i normally dont do) when i got down to philly i noticed that the car was ideling high (1500rpm) and would surge on occasion. the only mods i have are the few in sig.

i drove home today with the ac on and it would do the same thing, so on the way home i decided to stop at autozone and see if they will scan my car. infortunatly they dont do it there and the place they do it is kind of a hike.

-HOWEVER-

after leaving autozone i drove home without the AC on at all and the car idled normally and didnt surge at all. I think it might be a vaccuum line or something to do with the AC, any thoughts??

i posted this on cz28.com as well to try and get as much insight as possible

thanks guys!

It would help if you could get the codes scanned. If it's idling that high, I'm sure one of the codes will be for idle speed, but hopefully the other(s) will point in the right direction.

I say it might be worth the extra "hike" to another Autozone or whatever to get it scanned to see what's up. Surely, it's not that big of a deal seeing that you rarely use your A/C, but it is still a problem.

It could be that the A/C clutch was kicking on and off. This is the cause of the surge and idle issue.
