Air conditioning compensation

Mitsubishi Lancer 2004  112000 miles
Every time I turn the air conditioning on, rpm drop and the car feels a bit tight; I consider the compensator is not activating to maintain rpm. It's been a year and a half since I started having this little problem. I was told it was the IAC, but also that the computer was not sending the signal. I had to raise revolutions a bit so that the engine did not stall nor the vehicle tremble; but I think this way the vehicle consumes more fuel. I really need an electrical diagram to solve the problem. Thank you.

I had a case like yours yesterday and solved it. You need to check both the IAC valve and the computer, as when the first is in a really bad condition, it tends to damage the computer as well. Check the wiring that connects the two of them, which is beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side.

Engine stalls after a short drive.

Mitsubishi Lancer 2001  219000 miles
The Car drives for a while and later, the lights go dim, the Car begins to Jerk and finally Stalls. Any attempt to start the Engine results the Starter Motor making a Clicking sound. After a couple of Hours, the Car will start, but the same result will repeat itself. Kindly help.
