svmjw Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 When I have the AC on in my 93 L wagon, the car idles rough when I am stopped at a traffic light, if I turn the AC off the problem stops. It also will stop if I put the car in Neutral. Is it normal for the AC to put this type of stress on the engine, or do I have a problem that needs to be addressed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You have a major head gasket issue!! O wait you have a 2.2 never mind! Perfectly normal, the ac condenser take quite a bit of power to run. I am not sure if there is an ac idle sensor or screw, I am sure someone on will know. I will grab my Service manual tonight if no knows the answerer off the top of their heads.
