Lately I've been having an issue in my Terminator where the car doesn't startup smoothly if the AC is left in the on position. The idle drops almost to zero before for a split second before picking up to normal or sometimes stalls. Startup with AC turned off is smooth and normal. Not sure why the AC would be dragging down the engine that much. Any ideas?
Rough start/stalls on startup with AC turned on
- Thread starter jpk
- Start date
I would look at the following things
Tune- Has it been recently tuned if so start there, if it hasn't been recently tuned then its not the tune.
Vacuum harness- The AC controls are tied into the Vacuum harness, maybe you have a leak in a hose that is exposed when the switch is turned on.
Iac- Make sure its clean and working properly
Does the car lug down when you kick the A/C on when the car is warmed up and you flip it on?

Start it with the AC off like you're supposed to. If the AC then drags the motor down etc. you may have a AC compressor or compressor clutch problem.
No problems when I flip the AC on a couple seconds after startup. How do I find and check the IAC valve?
Thanks!
Thanks!
