Because Cobalt's are the retarded child of Corvette inbreeding.

Am I the only one who has seen this happen though? The idle goes steadier and about 200 rpms lower.

When i turn my ac on it gets worse. All i have is an intake and full exhaust. My car is normally @ 700-750 rpm when i turn ac on the almost dies then it save it self by shooting rpms way up then drops to 500 and does it all over and over till i start moving and if start moving its almost clunking out then when i get going probly at about 10 mph its normal.

My idle is all over, tune got adjusted, no vacum leaks and the throttle body is clean as hell. Can't figure out what it is other than MAYBE the Injen intake.
