help Car dies with AC on.
As soon as I turn the air on the idle takes a nosedive and the car dies. It has done this since I installed the 58mm TB. Its getting a little warmer now and AC would be nice :smash:

Re: help Car dies with AC on. (AS84)
with the 58mm TB did you set minimum air?
Was the Ed Wright programming done before or after the 58mm TB? there is a setting in the PROM to bump Idle with the A/C on. I know with my ZZ9/Miniram combe I have to do this or the car dies

the chip is calibrated for the 58mm tb as well as the othe mods. I was told that you could not set minimum air with a speed density setup, was this person correct?

Check your throttle position sensor and make sure it's plugged in all the way. As far as I know, the TPS controls the idle when the AC is kicked on. There's a process for resetting it (at least on LT1's anyway) but I don't remember it.
