idle problem air conditioning stalls car

alright, I've got a 95 integra ls. I've got the typical intake header and exhaust and a chipped ecu. I just added some crower 404s with the valve springs and retainers. The car idled wonderful for the cams. I installed some buddy club cam gears and a b&m fpr w/gauge yesterday, and something's off. When I turn on ac the car slowly dies. The fuel pressure is set at 43psi. I don't know what's wrong, I didn't have this problem before the cam gears. Could my timing be off?
Thanks,
Chris

Oh, it also kinda hesitates when I'm driving down the road at a constant speed. I think it's my timing that's off a little bit. Any advice would help.

Warm up the engine, plug a jumper into the service-check connector, hook up your timing light. Shine it on the crank pulley while the engine is idling, the timing mark should line up with the pointer that's molded into the lower timing cover.

For anything other than a '95 Integra, some details may vary. Like some older cars you might have to disconnect or plug some vacuum hose, or some cars you don't have to jumper the SCS plug...
