this is the first car i have owned with air/con, and as i used the air/con for the first time,[yes summer is here] i noticed the engine stalled twice when pulling away from standing,so ihad to get used to giving a bit extra throttle, i know the engine revs drop as soon as you switch on the air/con due to extra load on the engine, so is it possible the tickover is low? or is it common with air/con.
what should the tickover be,[with air/con switched off] on a s40 1.6, so i can check if its correct by the tacho.

thank you for your help.
