    A/C compressor turning off at idle..

    Hi guys, has anyone seen this problem before? Wots happening is, A/c is on and cooling fine (plenty of gas, tried over and under gassing unit) when idling in Park (650rpm) stays on even forcing down to 450rpm in Park...
    As soon as it is placed in Drive (550rpm) the compressor cuts out. Even forcing the idle up to 690rpm in Drive does not bring the compressor back on, it will come on at about 720rpm.. Are there any adjustable tables or parameters that control the A/c besides the pressure sensor? as when logging the sensor, the compressor, in this situation doesn"t respond.

    I was having problems with the compressor cycling
    when the idle was too unstable. I forget now, what
    made it quit flaking; probably just getting the idle
    cleaned up. I also had it cycling at low cruise and
    that was a pisser, at stop-signs etc. I know I got
    some advice about it here, maybe search it up.

    Take a look at the A/C cutout vs RPM tables, some
    models required 0 RPM (so basically key-off, key-on)
    to re-engage once cut off.

    Check your stall saver tables that might be where your problem is.

    Go into engine tables then idle rpm table you will find them there.
