I just remembered that my car had a stalling problem when I have the A/c on and I am coming to a stop- it will stall. Its worse when its cold, actually if I remember correctly, it doesnt happen after the car has been running a while...any ideas??

How's your idle without the A/C when the motor is cold?

wouldn't that be the BAC valve? doesn't that put extra air into the engine w/o opening the throttle plates to compesate for the extra stress of the A/C being on? that was my understanding of it, so try testing that.

Awww, just slam your high idle up a little if it's only when it's cold!
