    A/C problems after tune

    wondering if any body else has experienced the problem I'm having with my a/c? It's a new compressor and dryer by the way and it does have the right amount of Freon just charged it yesterday. the compressor does not stay on when the RPM's drop but when i accelerate the compressor runs. I think it's tune related did not happen till after tune my bros car's doing the same thing after his was tuned . It's a 99 Camaro any feedback would be helpful.

    Just double check and make sure you have the correct amount of freon. Sounds like it is low on freon.

    What did you do to the tune? If you posted it up it would be a lot easier give an answer.

    Shedding the A/C load is part of the "stall saver strategy" which
    you probably still have enabled. Unstable idle will kick the A/C
    compressor off.

    I'd uncheck the stall saver stuff, disable adaptive spark and
    work on cleaning up your underlying problem, the sloppy idle.

    I will look at the tune and check it out, thanks for the info.
