My car will occasionally die or the RPMS will jump down real low and the car will fight it when I have the AUTO setting on and am idling.

I did a search and found that the compressor can be a problem along with the IAC or IAB (can't remember.) I checked the compressor today and it was cycling on and off correctly. I'm thinking I may have to clean the IAB or buy a new IAC.

I am getting a check engine light also so I ran the codes and got 136 - Oxygen sensor not switching/system lean Left or Front HO2S. Does this mean I have an o2 sensor out? If that's the case I just got a new Y-pipe and bought two new o2's, but it still needs to be installed. But could that cause, the idle problem? shrug

I notice that if I take it off the AUTO setting and put it on floor, vent, etc, it seems to do alright.

I also did try resetting the idle, car died 3 times while trying, so that didn't help much.

Sorry for the long post, any suggestions?

Sounds like the IAB isn't able to compensate enough for the A/C compressor engaging. I would say most likely that the IAB is the problem.

A-why do you have pictures of my car? Is it because you wish it was yours? Yes it is the best SHO but you don't need to have pics of it.

B-Why do you have pics of my exhaust? Is it so you have a template to make yours the same, so it's as cool as mine, considering you have pics of it?

C-I rule

ps. OWNAGE! **** nono

hail to me
