Thumbs up A/C Issue and map sensor problem

Has anybody ever had an issue where your A/C would tremble intensely every 2-3 minutes? It would happen only when the s2k would come to a complete stop. It would also happen when the car is idling. I haven't had any solutions to this problem and has anyone ever heard of it. Sounds like an easy fix since my A/C works fine and my car idles perfectly.

Also, I've had occurrences with my car coming to a stop and the rpm levels would go down too low. It would feel like the car is stalling out but I'm in neutral. I've heard of people on s2ki having this problem. Many say it's a map sensor issue. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Hope to hear from many. Thanks.

Its the map sensor give it the wack. If you have the a/c on its putting more load on the car so it will cause it to stumble as well. There was a update to fix this which was a zip tie from what i saw to hold the map sensor. You can change the thermostat , thermo switch and cut the coolant flow to the throttle body using ball bearings and the stumbling will pretty much stop as well

Yep! Map sensor wack should fix the low idle problem. I'd take Troy's word on the ac stuff.

or it could be the IACV not compensating enough to maintain idle
