So, here's a weird one.
I've been driving the Volvo for the best part of the month and the truck has been parked for at least a week and a half. I got in the truck today, went to get a cold drink up the street. I shut the air conditioning off to talk to a friend in the parking lot at idle. Idle dropped considerably, and the Oil Pressure Gauge dipped, and recovered. I did this again when I got home to see if it was a pattern thing, or intermittent. It did it two out of the three times I tried it. Took the truck for a drive with the A/C off, and it didn't drop once.
I did clean the throttle body last weekend, and run half a can of SeaFoam through the fuel system.
One thing I will say, is that even properly charged, the A/C has always been sub par in this truck. I'm curious if it's just the compressor locking itself up.
See, video for the exact issue.
