RyanAutomotive:
Good Afternoon Sir.

Vehicle: Toyota Camry 2010 V6
Concern: Jerking, loss of power, and engine stalling when A/C is ON (especially at idle and during steering)

Let’s address this properly before any unnecessary parts are replaced.



• Professional Diagnostic Insight

From your explanation:

• Vehicle runs perfectly fine with A/C OFF
• Jerking and roughness occur only when A/C is ON
• Engine can stall when steering is turned fully (lock)
• Issue is worse at idle / in traffic

This clearly indicates:

• The problem is related to engine load management at idle, not a general engine failure.

When A/C is turned ON, the engine experiences additional load from the compressor.
When you turn the steering fully, the power steering system adds extra load as well.

If the engine cannot compensate for these loads, it will:
• Jerking
• Drop RPM
• Stall


Important Observation

Your case involves two load systems acting together:

• A/C Compressor Load
• Power Steering Load (when turning fully)

The engine should automatically adjust idle speed to handle both.

• Since it is failing to do that, there is a fault in idle control or load compensation system.


• Likely Causes (Based on Symptoms)

• Weak or Failing Idle Air Control / Throttle Body Issue
• Dirty or carbon-clogged throttle body
• Poor idle air regulation
• Engine cannot increase RPM under load

• Weak Engine Mounts (Contributing Factor)
• You will feel jerking more aggressively
• But mounts alone will not cause stalling

• A/C Compressor Dragging Excessively
• Compressor may be partially seized or overloading engine
• Causes RPM drop and hesitation
• Low Engine Idle Compensation (ECU / Sensor Related)
• Throttle position / airflow miscalculation
• Engine not responding correctly to load
• Charging System Weakness (Battery / Alternator)
• When A/C + steering load comes in, voltage drops
• Can contribute to stalling at idle

⸻
• What Should Be Checked Now

Before replacing anything, carry out these checks:
• Throttle Body Inspection & Cleaning
• Very common cause of this issue
• Check A/C Compressor Load
• Observe if RPM drops heavily when A/C engages
• Scan Live Data
Check:
• Idle RPM behavior
• Throttle position
• Engine load
• Short & long fuel trims


• Inspect Engine Mounts
• Especially if jerking feels excessive
• Charging System Test
• Battery and alternator performance under load


• Do NOT Do This

• Do NOT replace the A/C compressor immediately without testing
• Do NOT ignore the stalling — it can worsen
• Do NOT allow random “trial and error” repairs
• Do NOT keep driving long-term in this condition

• Professional Insight

Your engine is struggling to handle combined load at idle (A/C + steering).

This is usually caused by:
• Poor idle air control (most common)
• Or excessive mechanical load (compressor issue)

The fact that the vehicle drives normally with A/C OFF is a strong clue that the core engine is still healthy

Ryan Automotive Limited Recommendation

Start with a structured idle and load compensation diagnosis, focusing on:
• Throttle body condition
• A/C compressor load behavior
• Engine response to added load

This will pinpoint the exact cause without unnecessary replacement.

If you are able to bring the vehicle down, Ryan Automotive Limited performs professional diagnostics, live data analysis, and system load testing to accurately resolve issues like this.

Early diagnosis will prevent unexpected stalling in traffic.

thank yiu.

My 2010 Toyota Camry V6 has developed a jerking issue when the A/C is on. The jerking happens randomly, but it is especially noticeable while stopped in traffic or at a stoplight (on hold-up).
Additionally, every time the car jerks, the engine completely shut off if I turn the steering wheel fully to the left or right.
The V6 engine also feels like it loses power The car’s movement becomes noticeably less smooth, almost like it’s struggling or hesitating.
This issue only occurs when the A/C is running. The car drives normally when the A/C is off.

Life is like a two-sided coin.

Three years ago, I met a young woman fresh out of NYSC. When we started dating, she told me she had graduated with first-class honors and was exceptionally intelligent. Impressed by her potential, I began supporting her in every way I could. I encouraged her to pursue her ICAN certification and provided financial help, even though I was struggling myself. At one point, I had to ask her to stop making random financial demands, assuring her that I would always support her when it was truly necessary.

For the first two years, as she grew professionally, I focused on building our future. My dream was for us to travel together after our first year of marriage. She was indeed brilliant, intelligent, and hardworking, which only fueled my commitment.

By our third year, we had seen significant progress: we acquired lands and a car. But amid this growth, one persistent issue overshadowed everything, the lack of basic respect. She never respected me the way I respected her. I held her in such high regard that I even tempered my sexual energy around her. During intimate moments, I often appeared subdued so as not to overwhelm her, especially since early in our relationship, she had mentioned that sex was painful for her.

One day, during a disagreement, we went out to resolve our issues. In the middle of our conversation, she abruptly stood up and left. I was stunned but swallowed my pride. After talking to her about it, she repeated this behavior during another attempt to settle things this time, I took her phones in frustration, and she snatched mine, even pulling my second phone from my pocket.

I began questioning why she couldn't show me respect. I never hit her, abused her, cheated on her, or shouted at her. Whenever I tried to correct her gently, she would raise her voice to counter me, and I'd stay calm to avoid escalation.

She rarely did any chores when she visited. To be fair, she would cook, but that was it—nothing else. Helping with something as simple as cleaning the toilet seemed like an act of divine intervention. My laundry was never her concern; she could wear my clothes and just leave them for me to wash, as if it were none of her business.

Over time, it became difficult for me to address her behaviors without sparking fights, so I started avoiding those conversations altogether. I even bought several plots of land through her, and her company at the time gave her commissions, yet not once did she ever say "thank you." I overlooked all of it.

Her constant disrespect and eagerness to walk away during conflicts made me realize I needed to test her loyalty. I couldn't pinpoint the issue, as there wasn't a single aspect where I thought I was falling short—and when I asked her, she couldn't name one either. Was it the gifts? The phones? Extending my generosity to her family in small ways? The advice I gave? I was truly confused.

During one argument, she left our shared bed, slept alone, and packed her things the next day.

I decided I had to confirm what was really going on, especially since February 14th was the day I had planned to introduce myself to her family officially. When she later came to apologize, I lied to her that I was a sickle cell patient. She cried, accused me of wasting her years, and left. As she was going, I expressed my interest in her regardless, pleaded with her not to tell anyone, and asked if this was a sacrifice she could make for us—that she should think about it and get back to me.

Did I go too far? I don't think so. At one point, I had sacrificed my job, my source of livelihoodbecause her actions had triggered me so deeply. We met again later, and I begged her not to walk away. I promised everything: adoption, sperm donation, IVF. She refused, saying the money we could save and channel into other things shouldn't be wasted.

This was a woman who, in our three years together, had never done anything for me or my family financially. I borrowed money from her when times were tough and repaid it almost immediately. She earned well currently in the hundreds of thousands but never once had she given me even 5,000 naira as a gift. The first and last time she gave me any money was for a hospital bill, and it was 10,000 naira. Yet here she was, complaining about wasting money.

I laughed it off inwardly as she left and sent her belongings after making sure she asked for them. Weeks later, her mother called me as usual to ask about our issues. Because of her daughter's pride, her mom would rather intervene to settle things than her make any genuine efforts to show she was sorry. I felt there was no point discussing it, if her daughter's pride and ego weren't in the way, she would have stepped up to make amends herself, rather than involving her mom.

Now, I'm starting over. This time, it's not about who's the most successful or intelligent, but about finding someone who will stand by you when the chips are down—someone willing to make sacrifices, even when it's uncomfortable for them.

Many highly intelligent and working-class women remain single or end up divorced for a reason. Some are married but face similar challenges. Ultimately, it's about recognizing your potential and finding someone who will stand by you to achieve it.

In the end, she was stuck in a fantasy shaped by her past relationships, which I don't want to write about. In the end, everyone will be happy.

I couldn't type everything i overlooked and endured but i am glad it's a fresh start..

how was i hrtless ?
I need to understand

thomas2024:
It pains me I couldn’t address the guy directly. It seems like he has deleted the post. He will still make that same mistake again of building up another lady he intends to marry for the second, third, or even fourth time. I hope he can see this comment of mine by the way. He made a lot of mistakes and most men should not fall into that pit. We all learn everyday.

As a man, make sure you’re better than your woman times 10. Women are naturally hypergamous in Nature. This guy is in question keeps developing his woman but never develop himself in other aspect and I can beat my chest that he doesn’t have the needed charisma. He also makes a mistake of contributing financially to the relationship without allowing the lady in question to contribute. Women find it hard to leave any relationship or marriage they’re deeply invested into. As a man, your status matters to your wife. When you act as a needy in a relationship, with only you making the relationship work, you’ll get played by your partner who will possess the belief that she has all the cards, with the guy having the mindset of nowhere to go simply because he wants to make the relationship work after he has invested time and resources into the relationship while on the other hand, the lady has only dropped just 10k. She has nothing to lose. As a man, before you spend 2k on your woman or in a relationship, make sure you’ve collected 20k from her or she’s spend 20k in the relationship. Think or sink!

Thanks bro, I read this..

thomas2024:
