Default Car Dies while when A/c is put on.. "B20b Civic LX"

havent been to this website in months....i just recently got a swap done to my 98 civic LX ...it has a/c and p/s ...car runs beautiful its obd 1. jdm b20b gsr tranny pulls really good for a 4 door.

the man who did my swap didnt hook up a ecu reader to really tell what it could be , he just raised the idle a bit but it didnt help , my idle right now is a 1000 like i said runs really good it was Time'd with a gun, no misfire . just maybe theirs someone whos experienced this problem and shoot me in the right direction .. thanks

Check the ac pressure while its idling.
It could be the compressor going bad.
Mines went bad and locked up while driving.

But then again what ecu are you using to run the motor?

Definitely a compressor issue. I would just take out the whole system if I were you... much easier to maintain something that doesn't even exist, in my well-qualified opinion.
