Mazda Miata: Idle Drop Problem when A/C comes on

    Idle Drop Problem when A/C comes on

    Just within the last week or so the idle speed
    on on '92 drops very, very low just short of
    stalling when the A/C clutch engages.
    Prior to this behavior I experienced a small drop
    in RPM when the A/C clutch engaged but nothing
    like the size of the drop I get now. I've
    had the car for over ten years and this is not
    the drop I've always gotten in the past.

    Any suggestions.

    Hi
    I was having same problem. Here is what I think fixed it. There is a unit
    called the ISC valve.....it has an electrical connection at the bottom of the
    throttle body to the right hand side of the ISC valve. It can be tested for
    ohms. Ohms should read between 11 adn 14 ohms.

    Mine was dead. I got another online at Mazmart.com for about $120 (used) and
    viola, the rpms now go back up when AC is running.

    My RPM comes back up to a good level.
    My concern is the much greater drop in RPM,
    almost to the point of stalling, before it
    returns to the higher normal level with the
    A/C engaged.

    Will check your suggestion as possible cause.

    Thanks,
    Denny

    ok, good luck. Perhaps I misunderstood the problem.

    The IAC might be the issue, but if the idle
    recovers, the IAC is probably working. It sounds
    like the idle air bleed screw setting might be
    improper, perhaps a re-adjustment of the idle
    might fix this?
