Low idle with A/C on
When I turn my A/C on my idle drops and sometimes the car stalls. Isn't the idle supposed to go up when you turn the A/C on? I think that there's probably just some screw I have to tighten on the carb, but it's hot outside and I can't think straight right now.
It's a 81 automatic.

There's a solenoid that is supposed to kick up the idle speed when the compressor kicks in. You'll have to check and see if it's working and adjusted okay.

Thanks, I got it fixed. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but my A/C seemed colder after I got that adjusted.
