Erratic idle with A/C on

Post by 2002yukon »

I have a 2002 Yukon Denali. The idle sits at about 400-500 RPM with the A/C on while in park and in drive. I have tried increasing the RMP up with the tuner (currently +250 RPM) but it makes no difference. That low of an RPM isn't enough to get cold air from the vents. It seems to jump around a bit, sometimes going up to 750 RPM, but it than drops down to about 350 before settling in at about 450 RPM.

Yes, adjusted the AC on setting, also upped the AC off idle as well and adjusted both park and drive idle. AC off idle works perfect. I forgot to say it's the 6.0L Vortec GM engine. I have gone over 200 miles since the last tune and it's still doing it.

I thought there was a reflash for that. Try cleaning throttle body & doing induction service. If throttle blade is at max percentage of throttle allowed for idle. it wont let it go any further for fear of A runaway condition. I don't think it allows more than 15 %

There is no issue with my throttle body itself. This problem didn't start until I used this programmer.

Yes, when I return to stock, it works as it should.
