- Compressor kicks in: 800rpm stable
- Compressor knocks off: idle drops to 500rpm or below, engine labours, shakes, then stablizes again to 650rpm. Sometimes the load sensor panics and revs the car to 1000rpm in response to the idle drop, but usually it doesn't. Has caused me to stall the car twice now and it's annoying.
If I rev the car with the Air Con off to 800rpm and the release the pedal it settles down normally to 650rpm. It is only when the A/C pump stops that the idle falls too low.
Any ideas? It's really, really annoying as without the aircon the windows steam up pretty quickly here at this time of year, but with it on, the pump cycles on for 2 or 3 seconds 4 or 5 times a minute. I have taken to turning it OFF while waiting in traffic, but that is not a solution.

What is your rom calid hopefully its A01G or A02G if not see if dealer will update ecu rom if your on older 700G or 900G rom (assuming manual transmission)
if you have access to a tuning device it can be fixed. better than stock rom update by increasing base idle to 700 rpm and adjusting the port/direct injection tables to run full direct injection at idle instead of a port/direct split.
