Default AU1 v8 engine miss.

The au 1 has developed a miss/rough idle when the air con/fan is switched on. I noticed it occurred this morning when the fan switch was on. You can see the revs are dropping say every 3 or 4 seconds. anyone idea what would cause this?

intechau.

Low / out of spec idle setting? My manual say's 700 - 800 rpm, have a look when warmed up perhaps. May be due for a service soon? Iac need a clean?

cheer's, Maka
