Dies at idle when AC turned on and in gear???
85 K20, 350, auto transmission, with a Holley carb....
The truck has gotten to where it may die at a stop if the AC is on (especially prior to warming all the way up). I can compensate for this by bumping the idle screw up, but then it kicks pretty hard when put from park into forward or reverse. So, I have set the idle speed to eliminate the kicking, but cannot run the AC without the threat of it dying at a stop.
Normally, the warmed up truck will start fine without touching the pedal, but if it dies at a stop, I may have to feather the pedal to get it to start. It definitely helps to turn the AC off when trying to restart.
Where should I start trouble-shooting this problem?
