Subject:      Van won't idle with AC on
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I just had my AC recharged in my 90 GL, it works great... However, with the AC running, the van does not want to idle. I have to feather the throttle to keep it from stalling out. Without the AC on, the van seems a little weak on the low end but overall idles OK. I always thought it dogged a little because it is an Auto. To add to the confusion, when idling with the AC on, using a turn signal really affects the idle. It starts searching and stalls within seconds. This seems to me that it would indicate some kind of electrical load? Has anyone had this happen before? Any ideas are greatly appeciated.

Thanks in advance, Matt Faust
