Hi All. I have 1996 toyota Corolla SE Limited, and whenever I use the AC the idle starts to fluctuate
real bad. It makes the car vibrate to a point close to stalling but it has not stalled.
What could be the problem?
Any help will be appreciated.Frown

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reponse. I will definetly check this with the
mechanic. But for my own edification, where do I find the idle speed motor ?

Re: Idle fluctuates when AC is on Sign In
DanD could probably show you a diagram but you shouldn't need it. With a buddy hit your gas pedal and watch what moves - in a 96 Toyota it should have some device that controls the idle from imputs from all sources available. A/C is a big drag on your engine and needs this to keep you from stalling.

Wish I could say I knew everything about every car - but it should look like some kind of motor that does a push/and retract thing as it told to. The trouble could be just wiring but it needs to work. I don't think we can go much further without knowing about this thing. Good luck, hit back with your findings, T
