Idk wtf is goin on but if I have the ac on and roll up to a light the rpms dip to the pt of shutting the car off. Its sooo annoying. I'm chalking it up to being turboed cuz it didn't do that before. anybody have any roundabout ideas?

bump helpppppp!!! its hot in tx and this is soo weird.

 

ask vince to raise your idle
it has to do with the load put on the engine when idling
when cammed it can make it idle wuite a bit rougher and lower

 

damn he's gonna be on vacation too..

thnx for the tip. i do have my car unlocked on hptuners. i may just do it myself.

 

what is it set at now???

is it JUST when you have the ac on coming down from rpms from driving to idle? or if you were sitting and good and then clicked it on it happens?
does the car try to recover before dying?

 

ok when i coast up to a light i usually shift into N at about 1k... if i have the ac on it dips hard to like 500 and tries to recover then it dips again. if i tap the gas it centers back to 900... if i dont have the ac on im fine. for a while i was ok with turnin it off before i stopped then turning it back on when im completely stopped but a couple times it still dropped idle. basically i have too much load on my car?

my volt meter was still showing around 14 volts so i figured id be ok.

 

this happens to me (no boost) but lots of mods on my 2.2
if i compression brake and then as i get close to an idle i pull the clutch out a lil to keep the engine moving via the tranny moving to even it out...if i dont sometimes it dies....
im not sure if it has to do with the idle specifically, with the afr as you get close to idle...im not sure....
but im guessing it can be fixed witha tune


mine also got better over a little bit of time, it only does it once in a blue moon now...

 

yea i noticed it did it when i was bolt and tuned before but never enough to die.. ill work on it with vince once he gets off vacation next week

 

ya, i need to get redyno tuned, we only did a road tune before and i need to dyno tune for proper afr

 

so most likely it could be my afr? my wideband has been wigging out and im getting it looked at on monday. so i technically dont know wtf my afr is at.

 

i would say its the afr as your car goes back to an idle

 

makes sense.. car must be hitting super rich as it goes back.
