they said the engine is not for this car.. theres your first clue that they didnt know what they were doing.

we need as much detail as possible to help your issue.

Not "after 10 mins the idle goes down"

most likely an issue with iacm ( idle air control motor). it regulates the "extra" loads put on engine by things such as ac. find new onein u pull it. make sure you bleed coolant with car on an incline.

ok let me start my mechanic who did my swap over charge my a/c system , and he did it over and over so i got tierd of the bullcrap i took it to fire stone to let the pro's handle it so i thought....my swap is a legit swap no mickey mouse crap i have no cel my idle is solid at all times but when my a/c is on air blowing cold the idle is horrific like say if im parking with the a/c on turning my wheel the idle drops low to the 100 marker and then up to 1100 ??? im on the verge of swapping out this b20 going full ls

im just being sarcastic. i paid for this whole swap this car is all me , i would hate to see some chump come up on my car, this is the only issue i have with my car....saddly

reason im not just the type of guy to remove it i need my a/c even in winter ...im determined to figure this out

..so ive narrowed it down too.... with the test results of fire stone NO LEAK,COMPRESSOR GOOD,CONDENSER WORKING , AIR BLOWING COLD all tests are good this isnt a issue with the a/c system im looking at somthign more complicated
