Re: ECU/Oxygen sensor question

["Jeffrey Berlin" <JTBerlin@email.msn.com>]

About that surging when the a/c compressor kicks in... my a/c compressor
went earlier in the year and I installed a reman. I got from Pep Boys (very
good price). The car surges no more when the compressor kicks in, runs
smoothly, same with a/c on or off.  I was told it has to do with the number
of pistons in the unit.
