View Full Version : A/C idle not working

My A/C idle is not working properly anymore. The car used to compensate for the load of the A/C compressor by slightly raising the idle.

Now when I hit the A/C button in my car it drags down the motor to about 200 RPM. The car keeps running, but barely. When I turn off the A/C or the compressor clutch disengages, the motor goes back to its normal 800 RPM idle.

What’s going on here?

I have a DX 4-door 5-speed if it makes any difference.

#4 shows the a/c idle adjusting screw, might be the prob?

Either the diaphragm is worn out and leaking or your adjustment screw backed out on the A/C idle boost.
