Default 95 Venge 2.5l Stalling issue....

Ok so I have the usual stalling issue on my venge. I have replaced the CPS already and the relay on the firewall. Not all 3 but the one in the middle...forget what its called. It starts and runs fine UNLESS it has a load put on it i.e. the A/C. When the AC is off, it runs fine and does not stall. But if I turn it on, when it cycles it kills the motor when I roll to a stop sign or stoplight it dies. Starts right back up but it does it most times.

Like I said, when the AC is off , its fine.
What do you suggest?? Think maybe the Idle Air Controller?

I'd try CLEANING and running seafoam FIRST ... Could be a dirty intake/TB or the IAC ...
Cleaning is cheaper then blindly replacing , Also a dirty EGR can give similar issues

Have you had a either a dead battery or disconnected the battery before the stalling problem? If you had, Clean the throttle and blade. The controller had lose its memory and need to relearn the idle when slowing down to a stop. And relay is called an ASD relay.

Well I plugged in whatever it was at the bottom of the TB and changed the EGR...its good to go now. No more stalling.

OK I am having the same problem with my 98 2.5... runs fine until you take your foot off the gas... then dies... won't start either unless you have your foot on the gas.... I also found that if I unplug any vacuum line... the car will idle and run fine... what is the vacuum line that is on the throttle body??? is it ok to run it with that line off??? and the car did have a bad battery.... could the relearning thing be my problem???? thanks Rick

I left the one off going to the top front of the TB... but the car doesn't care which one is off to run.... EGR, brake booster etc remove any one and it will run
