Hi Guys,
I have an issue with the Civic CXi where when I turn the aircon on whilst driving, and when the car comes to a stop at the traffic lights, the engine begins to idle quite roughly and then probably about 10-20 seconds later, the engine begins to shudder... hard, to the point where I have to turn off the aircon, because I think the engine is either going to stall or something will blow. I don't bother allowing this shuddering to continue as I'm afraid it will cause further damage.
One way to get around this rough idling/shuddering is to press the A/C button so that the aircon is off, therefore only the fan is on. I can turn the A/C back on only when the car is moving.
Does anyone know what the issue could be? Anything I need to clean/change/replace? E.g. Sensors?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
