    Car cuttin off again when i turn on A/C

    I think i might just need to turn up my idle a lil bit more to compensate for when the compressor comes on. Not all the time it will cut off but some of the time. Any one else ever have this problem or can give me a lil advice it would be appreiated.

    there is supposed to be a relay that will raise the idle when the air kicks on. yours might be going bad.

        IIRC right on the throttle linkage on the throttle body, it's a solenoid that sits right by the idle adjustment.

                  Well i went out last nite and i turned left the switch on that i wired to turn on that solenoid and as long as i had that on with the AC runnin i had no problems..So i just gotta make sure to turn teh switch on when i am runnin my AC. But when im not teh car runs fine with out that switch.
