bertmann73 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 my daughters wrx has a low idle. without the a/c on there is no problem but when using a/c the car will stall as the compressor kicks off. before i go on my own goose chase i would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and found the remedy. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Idle is supposed to jump up about 150-200 rpm when the AC is on. If idle doesn't increase the idle control valve could be dirty/sticky. Usually a cleaning and a new gasket will take care of that. If it has electronic throttle you may need to clean the throttle body. Also check over all of the PCV/Breather hoses and vacuum hoses that attach to the intake manifold, intercooler, and intake tubing. Make sure none are cracked/ loose.
