Default revs drop/stall when A/C turned on?

hi guys

just wondering if anyone has had this problem or could point me in the right direction, had the power FC installed for about a year now and was tuned properly, the revs have dropped and hunted a bit when the air con is on but yesterday it stalled the car out totally , ive since bumped the idle up to 1000 when the ac is turned on but it still drops a fair bit but is not stalling anymore.

any help/info?

unplugged the battery when i changed the plugs the other day? , wouldn't think that would fuck with the ecu?

can you do a idle re learn without losing all the other settings?

Idle relearn.

To start the process adjust the no load idle speed by 100 rpm up or down.

Shut it off, re start - 10 mins @ idle with all electrics off - 10mins idle with rear demister on - 10mins with rear demist, headlamps & a/c running on full <- don't switch it off during this process.

If that doesn't sort it your idle control solenoid maybe gummed up.

HTH!

drove the car to work and back today and the problem seems to have fixed its self?, i drove with the aircon on only while i was moving thinking the ecu might adapt as i drive and it seems to have worked?

either my car is a transformer or its witchcraft or the powerFC can adapt?
