Re: Car won't IDLE
if it dies when your AC turns on then you might want to look at your compressor ...it could be siezing up. Also make sure your idle set screw is set correct. At idle you should be anywhere between 700-1000 rpm. If your car regularly idles, or tries to idle at 500 or so, you may need to bump the idle set screw a little higher, it might also be the reason your car stalls when the AC kicks on because if it is already idleing low, the initial added strain of turining the AC compressor on might be enough to kill it.
Keep in mind this only applies if your car only runs junky when you are trying to idle, and runs fine if you gas it a little. If it hesitates all the time, and seems like it's missing fire when you are at like 2500 rpm, your problem isnt your idle set screw....and for that matter i'm not sure what else to try.
