Here is for you, A/C causing surging.

I have been fighting this surging issue for a while. I noticed when it starts to surge i could turn off the a/c and it would quit

it only surges when i am only at a very min throttle. Does this make sence? What can I do to fix it?

Thanks a ton

Have you had your A/C checked??....might be low refrigerant, or weak clutch or bad bearing

Check for vacuum leaks.
Check your IAC valve.
