    Another A/C idle issue with big cam...

    Car is 2001 WS.6, 6sp with a LQ4 shortblock, ported LS6 heads, and an EPS 238/242 .604/.605 112+4 cam. I've been getting help from a reputable tuner in getting this car tuned with HPT, and it idles and runs great. I usually ride with the windows down, but I got my windows tinted today, so obviously I had to keep them up. Went to turn the A/C on as I was idling, and the car immediately stalled down to about 500rpm and showed way lean on the wideband. It idled erratically for a while, and eventually came up to 850rpm where its supposed to idle, but it idled really rough and surged a lot.

    I can run the A/C if I'm cruising down the highway or even driving down the backroads and the car runs just fine. The problems all seem to be at idle.

    I'm a total newb to HPT, and barely know what I'm doing. Just wanted to see if I could get another set of eyes on the tune regarding the A/C values and see if anyone has any suggestions. My tuner's been a bit out of pocket lately, so I haven't been able to get in touch with him...

    Thanks guys.

    OK, made some changes...see if I am any closer with this. It bogs way less on initial A/C turn-on, and will somewhat idle at 950 but it's a little rough.

    And thanks very much for the help, I really appreciate it.
