motor surge w/ AC on
Need to get this car running better...
its a 1995 Honda Civic Coupe with a d15, auto trans.
car runs strong and no problems at all.
BUT...
when the motor is fully heated and the a/c is on, while its idling it will vibrate real heavy and revv a little bit, same with as your slowing down or driving really slow (parking lot speed for example). When your driving maintaining normal speeds no vibrations or revving, but once slowing down or idling, heavy vibrations, where you can see the hood shaking and feel it in the steering wheel, as its vibrating, if you turn the a/c off, the vibrations stop right away. so its obviously narrowed down to something to do with a/c but where do i go from here. thanks!

Could be a vacuum leak. Spray around the intake and along all the vacuum hoses and anywhere there's a gasket sealing the intake with carburetor cleaner. Don't spray it on the exhaust manifold.
