Subject:      high idle with A/C on- 89
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I'm sure I could probably find the answer to this in the archives, but I
wasn't  able to get them to work yesterday or today.  I'm having a problem
with my idle when the A/C is on.  If the A/C is on, and the cooling fan up
front is on, then the van idles at about 2000 RPMs.  As soon as the cooling
fan shuts down, the idle goes back to normal- about 950.  The cooling fan
(with A/C on) seemed to almost be coming on at random- sometimes on and off
through several cycles.  What is the connection supposed to be between the
cooling fan and the A/C in terms of when it is triggered on?  Most of this
was happening before the engine was even heated up to temperature.  Anybody
had a similar problem?  Any suggestions for what to work on are
appreciated. Thanks
