What causes the engine to idle when the AC is on?
There is a thing which causes the engine to idle up when the AC is turned on it seems this isn’t working correctly. Your engine gets dragged down a little bit and causes the rough idle. I don’t know what this is called exactly. Maybe someone else will have an exact answer for you. – Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦ Dec 13 ’15 at 19:39
What causes a rough idling of an engine?
Spark Plugs. A rough idling engine can be caused by spark plugs or spark plug wires. Spark plugs use the electrical current received from ignition coils to ignite the air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber.
What should I do about rough idle when AC is on?
Clean the throttle blade and the surrounding bore. Do not scrub, let the solvent do the work, no scratches are allowed on the polished bore. After cleaning start the engine and let it idle for at least 20 minutes while the system learns it’s new throttle position. This vehicle should relearn on its own.
What causes a hard start when the engine is warm?
Leaking fuel injectors cause fuel to leak into the combustion chamber. That often doesn’t cause problems on a cold start because most of that fuel has evaporated between the last shut down and the cold start. But leaking fuel can cause an extended crank and hard start when hot and then a rough idle for a while when the engine is warm.

What causes a car to idle when it’s warm?
Once warm, a bad fuel pressure regulator can cause a rough idle by leaning out the mixture due to low fuel pressure. A Fuel filter would not cause a rough idle when warm.

Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause a rough idle?
Once warm, a bad fuel pressure regulator can cause a rough idle by leaning out the mixture due to low fuel pressure. A Fuel filter would not cause a rough idle when warm. A clogged fuel filter would cause far more problems on a cold start when fuel demand is higher.
