AC compressor kicks in and....
...the engine speed jumps up about 400-500 rpm's. Quite a noticeable thing as you can tell the Runner wants to jump forward when sitting at a light. Any idea what to look for? '97 Ltd 3.4 V6 with 73,000 miles. It only does this when the ac compressor is engaged.
Anyone with similar experience and what did you do about it?
Thanks for any assistance!

I have a 2nd gen so I don't know where it would be on yours.

Yes, it seems a little high to me as well. Hopefully someone will know about the 3rd gen and point me in the right direction. Thanks!
