ph12 idle problem when ac is on

**yawza** · January 16th, 2010 02:03 PM

hi guys! recently i experienced my reliable ph12 engine has idling problems. at cold start it starts but dies after. bomba konti then ok na. but when you open the a/s idle drops and car dies.

changed the sparks already and cleaned throttle bodt with carb cleaner. had my throttle simuled also.

tried adjusting the idling via the screw at the back of the carb but i feel its high naman when the a/c shuts off.

what could be the prob? should i also get aftermarket tachometers? and what is the proper idle for my hatch? thanks so much*!!

have you serviced your distributor lately? sometimes leaks occur inside the distributor. Oil will then enter and heat up.causing ground in your electrical system (the ones supplying your spark plug). damage from busted oil seal can result in a complete failure in the distributor which then would cost you more to replace than to repair(repack).

Just a thought.hope this helps
