My Civic has a problem with idling when the AC is turned on. Need your help.?

Question:
Hi! I have a stock 1993 Honda Civic EG hatch which I bought from Honda Philippines with PH12 (1200cc) engine. After using it for more than half an hour with the AC the idling dropped to almost zero. It stalls. I have to restart it. My AC is also stock SANDEN. But when I turn off the AC everything is fine. What is wrong? Is it the engine or the AC? I have this regularly tuned-up every 5,000 kms. Thank you in advance. Cheers.

Your Idle Air Control (IAC) unit may be at fault, it should automatically raise the idle when the AC comes on, to compensate for the extra load. The computer would send a signal to this unit when it senses the AC is on. Maybe it is just carboned up and needs cleaning. Have a garage look at it and see what they think, a throttle body, fuel injector and IAC flush/cleaning is usually done together and is a regular routine maintenance.

Which brand of cold air intake is better aem, k & n, injen, etc? the car is 96 honda civic ex?

I'm not sure what's causing it, but on my old car, it would bounce up and down while idling withOUT the AC on, so I would stick it in Neutral and the problem would stop.

Dodge Neon Models...?

You should get it checked out though.

Actually, wheeler's recommdation is quite solid. That's what happened to me. My IAC was dirty and I had it cleaned. It workked well but after 2 years it came backed and this time when I replaced the IAC it never happened again.
