Hi ,i just filled my eclipse 1995 turbo gst with 2 bottle of refrigerant and the a/c works perfectly..
ok when at idle the car works perfectly but when i drive the car hard and goes to idle to make a turn it dies..or when turnign the steering wheel full on on side the car dies too..
what is the problem?

Thanks
 
Idle is adjusted wrong most likle. It's adj way too low so when the power steering pump or A/C needs more juice the ISC can't adj because it's already adjusting to keep your idle up with no accessories on. Make since? Get it adjust by someone with a scan tool. Might have to pay for it

ISC motor. Check/replace.
Replacing it won't do any good if the idle is still way out of adjustment. Another ISC will give the same symptoms if this one isn't trashed

ISC is Idle Speed Controller. It changes the amount of air let past the throttle body at idle. When there's a heavier load on the engine at idle, it needs more air to compensate. The ISC allows that.
