Re: Car idles very high with a/c on
Well I think its normal for your idle to change a bit with the A/C on because its using quite a bit of power .. but not that drastically... 

Sold my 95 RS "Little Peanut" but she will never be forgotten.

your a/c does draw power from your car but it makes your car idle lower than normal. happens in my 95 DOHC 1.6
