has anyone noticed, after the cam install it won't idle with the ac on? i just did some cams and when the ac is on the car dies down. when i'm actually on the throttle it's fine. i don't know if it's just my tune or what. right now, it's not tuned for the cams. my ecu will be getting sent out soon to get reflashed for the new mods.

I was embaressed to run my A/C last summer in Middle GA. The humidity is intense. Had a mail-in Dynoflash last Dec and the AC issues this summer are cured. The load effect of the A/C is minimal now. Al knows.....................

well I changed my spark plugs last weekend and things a little better. I may have had some fouled plugs. Not perfect but definately better.

gapecans - did you have a custom tune or flash??

There has to be some kind of relay solenoid or something that tells the car to increase RPM when the A/C is activated.

Any auto mechanics here?? This is something that all cars should have.

My 05 does the same crap at idle, feels like its gonna stall on really hot days, were talkin 100+ in the desert. Also, my turbo timer builds up like mad...what would normally be 45 sec to a min ends up being 2 min with the a/c on. It never counts down at stop lights.

Its call the ISC( Idle Speed Controller), I am having this same problem on my evo8 but i also have an AEM. This also happens on my 4G63 Turbo Eclipse. I am fiddling with settings on it. The cool thing about the AEM is that you can't even tell i have HKS 272's.
