Engine dies when AC turned on

[zan]

i adjusted the idle rpm, in other words making it slightly higher... it balances the aircond load but engine still sounds like its not normal - sounds like its firing on 3 cylinders.

i opened and cleaned distributor/spark plugs/ and cables and reinstall them. but same issue.

also checked all vacuum hoses seems ok.
really not sure what is still the problem!





Bump:

done this too...

all ok - no changes...

help me out folks! a man in darkness!

are you sure you adjusted the ac idle screw? there are actually 2 idle speeds to be adjusted. and 2 separate screws. 1 for engine idle. 1 for ac idle (as skywalker mentioned earlier)

idle speed should be around 750-850rpm but ac idle speed sould be higher between 900-1000rpm. depends on engine mounting condition also.

yeah ive tried that both screws.

anyhow im yet to test the compression. no actually compression gauge with me so im gonna use my thumb and test the pressure. read it from some sites.
