Default 94 idle problem

i recently had the timing belt and all that changed in my car, 94 honda accord lx auto, and everything was okay.

it ran a little weird at first. didn't feel like it would change gears properly but has been running better now (after 1month or so)

now.. the problem is that car has an idle problem and RPM problem. when i am park and i turn the wheel the car dies. When stopped the RPM is below 500.

This only happens when the AC is on.

Any ideas?

- i never had this problem before. but before and after the timing belt change.. everything causes the cars rpm to drop but not enough to cause it to turn off.
-healights
-foglights
-ac

shouldn't the RPM go up to support all this?

i have a BASS system hooked up. if that matters o.O is it killing my alternator or somethig else..

P.S. i dont know much about the mechanics.. so give it to me in lame terms.

are you running the system through an amp? if you are, make sure the fuse for the amp wire is strong enough.

I would have your alt checked that it's distributing the proper amt of volts

recheck the timing, if the T-belt is a tooth off it could cause idle problems

got the t-belt checked.. the thing is. it runs great without AC.. but with the AC the car gets slow. ...
it runs better now with the AC and i dont think it will die unless i have to pull the steering wheel all the way for a long time but i still dont to be driving like this.

the amp isn't the problem. i rarely even turn it up. the fuse is good. everything is installed right.

i should get the Alt checked tho..
