Subject:Van won't idle with AC on
From:Matt Faust

I just had my AC recharged in my 90 GL, it works
great...
  However, with the AC running, the van does not want
to idle.  I have to feather the throttle to keep it
from stalling out.  Without the AC on, the van seems a
little weak on the low end but overall idles OK.  I
always thought it dogged a little because it is an
Auto. To add to the confusion, when idling with the AC
on, using a turn signal really affects the idle.  It
starts searching and stalls within seconds.  This
seems to me that it would indicate some kind of
electrical load?
  Has anyone had this happen before?  Any ideas are
greatly appeciated.

Thanks in advance,
Matt Faust
