After running my air conditioner, my Nissan 200sx doesn't want to start. The only way I can start it and keep it running, is to keep my foot on the gas and keep the rpm's up. Otherwise, it wants to die. After it's been running a while, there seems to be no problem. This only happens after I run the air conditioner. HELP!!

what does the temperture guage say. With the ac on it creates a lot of heat. Check the radiator and see if it has a build up of leaves or anything that would cut down on the air flow through the radiator. I had bought a buick a few years ago. it ran fine until i would turn on the ac. I found that the car had sat under a pine tree and between the ac condensor and the radiator was filled up with pine needles. Once I cleaned them out the car ran fine even with the ac. Check the circulation of coolant. Are you using a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and water?
