On July 6, 2020 I hired a shop to fix my factory AC in my '91 Vanagon camper with 2.1l engine. The old compressor was leaking and the shop replaced it. At 11.5 months into a 12 month warranty the AC wasn't cooling well. I returned to the shop last week. They identified a refrigerant leak in the compressor and replaced it under warranty. I picked up the Vanagon yesterday and was told that I need to hire a shop to fix the low idle when the compressor is on. I drove the Vanagon home and confirmed that when the compressor was running the idle speed of the engine would drop from around 900-950 to about 600-650. The engine did not stall but it felt like it was close to stalling. How should I begin to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance, Ryan
