Too bad for your old car.

This is my third iteration of a custom turbo system so I have learned something each time and applied it. This is the first time I have done all the tuning myself.

Still having some issues with the AC today. The AC won't kick on unless the car has been driven and I'ved done at least a little bit of full throttle acceleration. Then when I come to a stop and idle the system begins to work normally.
I'm not sure what the deal is and I can't find a direct correlation between AC activation and load or TPS. I can find a setting for AC turn-off versus TPS for when the AC is cut out under full throttle though. I may need to turn that off and see if the ac comes on and always stays on. That would indicate tps issues though I haven't done anyting with the tps values from before.
Any ideas?

Just to throw this out there... but do you know if maybe it's an A/C clutch problem or an ECU problem.

Have you tried to see if the ECU is sending a signal w/o the clutch engaging.

Just a thought...

As far as other ECU parameters I can't think of anything off hand.

No it is not that. The system works perfectly and blows nice and cold. When I first plugged in my chip that ADC/streetflight tuned, or whenever the battery died it would do that for a short time until it learned for about 15 minutes. AFterwards it would work fine.
This time it is just more exaggerated.

There is a time delay for A/C during WOT. If your throttle postion for WOT is off the car will think it's in WOT more often and disengage the A/C. To test my theory, set the delay to 0.

I'll try it.

Haven't had time. This weekend I will.
