My car works well and the air conditioner works well. When I am going at a normal speed, there is no problem at all. When my car is idling at a stop light and the air conditioner is on after a few minutes the car gets ready to die. The rpms go down and I have to rev the engine to keep the car going. THis never happens when the air conditioner is not on. The fan can be on high and everything is okay.
Any ideas?

Hi there,

There should be an idle up solinoid fitted, so when the A/C is on the engine idle speed is increased to compensate for the extra load. Have this checked.
