when i start my car with the a/c off it is perfect. if i start my car with the a/c on it surges up and down and dies. any thoughts on this. i am having some issues with voltage at traffic lights with the a/c on. could it just be a charging issue. i will be upgrading to a bigger alternator in the next few weeks. does surging idle have anything to do with charging?
