    Finally found my idle surge ... now how to fix it ...

    So I have had this e30 for a while and for the longest time it would get a weird surging idle problem ONLY after it would warm up. I tried a few things but never realllly looked into it.

    Well today I noticed that my compressor would kick on erratically and it coincided with the surging of the engine. Well fuck...

    Where would I start? my only thought is to remove the alternator and have it tested at shitzone parts....

    Before I take this all apart is there anything else I should be checking first? I realize that my compressor clutch shouldnt be turning on sporadically but I cant see if my AC is on or off because I took off my dash and everything is a mess of wires. That will be my first task, trouble shooting my AC but after that what ?

    the last step I want to do is remove the alternator for testing.
