: : I had a similar problem with the AC and idle. The adjustment was not issue was not in the valves but in the throttle itself. I took the car to my local mechanic and he fixed it for me. I didn't want to bother.

: What did your mechanic do? Do you have a phone number or a reference that I could talk to to see what it was that they did to fix your AC problem? I would really like to be able to use my AC since it's starting to get REALLY hot down here in Texas right now. AC just makes life nice, ya know?
