    Default idle up...

    i have a problem...

    my car's idle doesnt automatically go up...

    if i put on the aircon...
    and engage the gear...

    supposedly... it will idle somewhere arnd 700-800rpm

    however... mine drops from

    1000... without aircon...
    800... with aircon...
    500... with aircon and gear...

    during traffic stops... the engine sometimes
    dies too... any help?

    thanks!
