what are you idling at during normal running temps? Just curious how much it drops. 100rpms or less I wouldn't worry about.

I had this problem on my '92 civic. I increased the idle speed and changed the PCV valve. It seemed to fix the problem. Now my A/C doesn't work.

I have the same problem. I have a 94 ex with a b18c1 swap. But I tend to blame it on the 8.8lb clutchmasters flywheel.

It doesn not matter if you have a 1.6 or 2.4L. If your a/c is not serviced properly then its a pain in the butt.

In response to what SirRevvs said:
"I tend to blame it on the 8.8lb clutchmasters flywheel."

you know what... i do have an ACT prolite flywheel. is there anybody else who think this could be true? or is it a small engine thing?

thanks for the responses by the way. i'll clean that iacv soon and see if it helps

When your compressor is going bad, it will sieze up when activated, thus causing your engine to stall.

When you turn on the A/C, the ELD (Electronic Load Detector) detects a load. (duh, lol) it should step up the idle a hair by using the IACV if I remember correctly. So take out the IACV and clean it with sensor safe carb cleaner. Check the obvious items also, like plugs, wires, cap/rotor, air filter. Do you have a CAI installed? CAI's decrease the air velocity and can mess a tad with idle.

Right but when you have a lightweight flywheel the engine slows down too fast when you disengage the clutch so it tends to stall (my theory). Only happens when the A/C is on (engine under load)

that's actually plausible. I have an 8 lb flywheel and I have the same problem.. only happens when I rev REALLY quickly, then let off completely
