Air Conditioning problem

My daughter's van won't idle after turning air conditioning on. It also backfires. She has had a couple of mechanics look at it, all with different solutions. Idle's fine otherwise.

If the idle drops very low when AC is on, the EACV is most probably clogged. Use a carburettor cleaner to clear the clogging.

The misfiring part might be due to spark plugs or cable defect.
