Aircon running idle dips very low.

Good Day

I have a a33 vq20de maxima, i have a problem with the idle while the aircon is running. When driving and coming to a stop the idle drops down to 500 rpm then bounces back up to normal. When this occurs the interior fan speed appears to run slower until the idle returns to normal. Without the aircon running there is no issues. Where do you propose the problem can be. I looked in the EC section but can see what to look for.

Reason i'm asking, i don't want car to stall out at stop signs.

Thanks
Craig

Dirty throttle body? Don't manually move the valve if electronic TB (you didn't specify year).

Ok, then it's a dirty idle air control valve probably. Spray out the TB and the holes for IACV (you'll see em in there). That should fix your issue.


While you're in there, do the TB coolant bypass before it fries the ECU.
