surging iroc part 2
I dont know if some of you remember this but I had made a thread over a couple months ago about my surging iroc at stop lights and never found the problem yet....well the other day i had noticed on one of our extremly hummid days that we had i decided to turn on the a/c....turned it on and noticed when i got to stop lights it wouldnt surge anymore.....so i got curious and approached another light with the ac off and it started surging again so i went ahead and turned the ac on and then the surging stopped and it started to idle fine. Mind you this is right after i cranked the AC on to full blast then boom the car idles awsome......i find this quite strange...i really dont feel like running my AC on 24/7......what could be causing this?

I really dont know, but there is a vacuum line that runs up to the hvac controls. I wonder if maybe it is leaking in a certain position. That would be a vacuum leak which can cause surging. That is just a guess, but it kinda makes since.

the hvac controls is actually that panel that you turn the ac on with. Part of it is controlled by vacuum. I dont know if it would actually be possible or not, but I just thought that maybe for some reason it is only leaking in certain positions or something. Like I said, just a guess. I cant think of anything else in the air cond system that would effect the way the engine runs.
