The following is my original post. Now the idle always stays at base idle (no IAC)and the A/C is out. This problem was intermittent.

My car has started to do something strange.
I've noticed that after start-up, at times, the idle will stay at 700RPM and at the same time, I'll lose the A/C compressor. Like I'm losing power to the idle solenoid and the A/C controls. It will usually come on after a few minutes of driving.
The idle has always been real good (950 in gear). I keep the throttle body and solenoid clean. You can watch the idle go down and then up again when the A/C is turned on and the system is working normally.
This acts more like an electrical problem when it does happen.
I've checked the fuse but I don't think the two have much in common electrically....except maybe the ignition switch.
I used to hear a click near the ECA after just a few seconds of running but I don't hear that anymore. When I hear the click, the engine will react. Not in a bad way or good way.....it just reacts.
The FI schematic shows a A/C micro-switch in the system that goes to the ECA.
What is this??
Also, does the main relay do anything with the A/C??
Can anyone shine some light on this for me.
Thanks in a advance.
