Default WEIRD PROBLEMS...never seen nothing like it.

Got free-on added in my car today for the A/C. Well while I was curising around, ( had t-tops out BTW ) I would turn the A/C wide open, when I would come to a stop light, I would push the clutch in and the engine would raise another 1500 RPM + Idle RPM...I was like what the? played with it alil more and while the A/C is wide open, if I push in the clutch and hold it, the engine will rev up, hold for about 30 seconds, then go back to idle speed...

WTF is going on? lol...Timing issues?

I also noticed my battery voltage guage was way lower than normal today.

your alternator might be going. then your car would be running solely off the battery, and with nothing to charge it your voltage would drop a lot. when you have low voltage your computer can do so incredible weird things.

^^^^^ Maybe...anyway to check the alternator without taking it off ? Maybe the computer was telling the car more power to try and charge it up....

Drove it from my mother-in-laws house a sec ago, voltage showed semi-normal, good range atleast...I dunno, I guess I'll keep an eye on things...
