Engine stutters at idle when the A/C is on

If this only happens when the A/C is on the we may have an issue with the compressor or compressor clutch.

Basically, when these start to lock up they can cause engine misfires or even snap drive belts.

So, I doubt this is a sensor issue that is causing the engine to run poorly but it could also be a fuel supply issue.

So, let's start checking these two things.

First let's start with the A/C pressures when the compressor is on and off.

If the pressure is low, then that will show a compressor issue as well.

So, if this checks out then we need to check the fuel pressure with the A/C on and off.

Let's start with this and then we can go from there.

I think the important thing at this point is to gather data and not just change the parts like the compressor. That makes us assume that the system or part is not the issue.

Let's see what happens with the A/C and vacuum the system and then go from there.
