Wouldn't having the A/C on actually prevent stalling or the rpm drop you guys are experiencing? I'm not sure if this is correct but doesn't the A/C put a load on the engine which actually semi prevents it from stalling?

The stumbling that you guys are reporting here is obviously not related to the A/C. Never-the-less, if you let it stumble a few times, does it eventually "learn" to compensate? If not, it might be time to get a CAI since you might be affected by your seasonal hot temps OR you might consider doing the MAP sensor "WACK"!
Sorry I can't be of more help.
ps. You might also try to adjust the throttle cable to take up some of the slack that may have occurred over time. I think this procedure is written up somewhere in the library (at least, it used to be).

Damn, is this post timely!!! Tonight my rpm's dropped at a light, and KEPT DROPPING! The car stalled at a light and I didn't even try to go (the clutch was still in)! After that it took about a minute to fire it back up! Sounds like a fuel problem, but I had half a tank, the A/C was off, it was 80 degrees, and I was on flat road. What gives?
Are all these other problems with 2002's?

Not ture with me. I installed the Comptech CAI and it is still there. Only happens once with my car, right after the 3 bar comes on in the warm up process. After that, no worries.
