[urq] Engine stall under heavy electrical load : where to look ?

[audiqtrocp]

Many of us here run 034, self included, why not get ahold of them and have the team up there help out?   There are lots of factors and variables in how people have installed the system.  Does he run it with an ISV or adjust his idle the old fashioned way?
