just got my 97 auto se-r last week. the car idles fine when the ac is off. when it's on and i'm like setting at a red light or something, sometimes the car will like bog down to 500 rpms. is this normal??? what is the normal idle speed for these cars?
later,
derek

Something like 750 +/- 50. When the AC is on the idle should increase to about 900 rpm.

I feel you, bro!
My Classic does the same thing.
Down to 500 then back up.
Oh well, it still rides out, so ..............
