I believe your A/C idle up valve may have failed. They do this when hot, but test OK when cold. See here p228

Check the throttle body and see if it has build up around the butterfly. If so, clean the butterfly with throttle body cleaner. This may be it. There are other possibilities but this is a simple inspection.

SOURCE: Toyota 02 is stalling, won't idle

Check the voltage of battery with voltmeter.. It is sometimes possible that if voltage of battery drops and jump start is needed, your computer will only charge to the last voltage that was recognized which would be when jumped...Try and charge the battery if possible I would actually suggest that you have your battery tested at local auto parts store and if it is presumed in good condition ,let them charge for you to max capacity . If battery has been tested and labeled as no good replace if necessary... Oh, and first thing you should do is make sure your positive and negative battery connections are clean and tight...if this didnt fix problem please give more info on what was found when advice above was followed...Good Luck!!!!

well you could try to get a vacuum gauge and see if your car reads what it supposed to and if you buy one it could tell you what it could be.

How many units does the AC belt run , what are the consequences of cutting the AC belt?

depending on the car your serp belt may control all functions from alternator to power steering as well as the a/c make sure it was the a/c compressor that caused this it could have been coolant from the radiator or the high pressure release valve if its running rough it might be an issue with injectors is the check engine lite on. I would recommend a garage or dealer

Dear sirs...HELP!!!! ok we had issue w/ code P0303 and replaced plugs & wires...ran better when started up until I got ready to drive around block to test drive...idle seemed little rough when in park...

p0303 is cylinder 3 misfire. Check that plug, boot and coil. . You can move this coil and boot to another cylinder to see if the code changes. If it does, you have a bad coil or boot. Its most likely the spark plug boot on cyl 3.

I have a w reg, diesil transit van and the engine seems to have started to cut out once it has warmed up, after about 4 or 5 miles,it was driving ok, then all of a sudden it lost power and a few mins later...

Find the cold start switch on the engine. This unit will put more fuel into the engine and set the idle a bit higher for cold starts till warm up then go beck to normal. It appears there is a malfunction in this switch. Replace it, or you can do what I did and put a toggle switch on the power in side of this switch so that you can shut it off after it's a bit warmed up and will stay running. That's all I can imagine would cause your problem on diesel engine.

1997 Civic Lx idles rough and low especially with AC on

It's the extra load on your engine when AC compressor kicks on, and it draws engine rpm down. Your fuel injection system has what is called an "idle air control valve", that is supposed to overcome that and adjust idle up & down automatically as needed according to engine load conditions. I'd say it needs replacement, unfortunately it's a little more expensive than most & will run you about $165. Before you do, if you do, make sure all connections & any hoses running to it are in good shape no cracks, on tight & clean, as that can also cause part to malfunction.
