I meant to add that activating the A/C puts just enough extra parasitic draw on the engine that this situation creates itself. Some cars will do this even without the A/C being on.

First off, I want to say thanks to everyone who posted the helpful info to my thread. I am very grateful for all of it. Second of all, I love this website. I have been on here so much the last 2 weeks just reading different info on things I need to do to my S. This is so awesome, and I enjoy expanding my knowledge of this excellent car. Everybody on here rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if I end up selling mine (might be starting a family this year), I will still be on here to visit, and I will still recommend this sight to anyone with an S.

i don't think there's any need to fix anything.

If its hot enough to your your AC, its probably hot and humid, which means your engine is under enough stress already. Having to spin an AC compressor at idle speeds isn't helping either.

If your engine doesn't stall out, don't worry about. Every car I've every owned strained a little at idle with the AC on.
