Subject:      Step up the idle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I recently got the AC runnig in my truck and think I need to step up the idle for the extra load of the AC compressor.  The engine has stalled a few times and the rpm takes too long to stabilize off revs.

I haven't looked at the Bently wiring diagrams, but I would guess that there is a contact on the Idle Control Relay to do this.  I would also guess that it's just a matter of running an extension from the clutch wire to the relay.

Anyone done this?

Thanks,

Kim
