    The past few weeks it has been like 95-100 degrees every day up here in upstate NY . Since then I've noticed my a/c is causing power issues with my Jetta. I know that it is normal for A/C to cause a little drain on power as well as fuel economy but not to the point of stalling out my car. I'm finding that when I have recirculation mode on it is the worst. While i'm driving I feel major pulls when shifting and accelerating but the main problem comes while idling. If I don't keep my foot on the accelerator and just let it idle on its own, about 50% of the time it will stall out . I have no lights on and the only codes I'm throwing through VAG-COM are for my front left ABS sensor needing replacement. Also, I've noticed my power steering pump pulley has a wobble to it. Could this affect the A/C pulley I'm really not sure whats going on with it, any input would be appreciated.

    Check for vacuum leaks as there may be insufficient fuel for the amount of air getting to the engine.
