The air conditioning works great when cruising or driving normal when the car is not at idle. But, if I leave the A/C on and come to a stop the car will stall. There is a tune on the car. Do you think the idle RPM needs to bee raised or could this be a sensor?

Thanks!

The only time I have stalled while running the air was when my IAC valve was going out. I also had (or very soon had) a surging idle.

However, I've had the car since '03 but haven't used the AC since summer of '06. Haven't removed it, but haven't used it either. lol
