When ever I'm at idle or even cruising for that, I canuse my window switches or turn on my heater or AC my, car will losepower. My battery voltagedrops andmydash lights andheadlights will dim.Whenver this happens the Rpms will drop to about 400 or so and it sounds as if my car is knocking? could this be anIAC realted issues because I have the hanging Rpm problem that everyone talks about? The alternator and battery both checked out fine. Maybe theres a short a parasitic draw? I don't know but please help! Any and all informationwill be greatly appreciated!

Oh trust me man I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. Maybe it's me or the search engine lol.
Will somebody please give me some input on this!There has to be something going on that's easy to fix. I have already cleaned my IAC before and it didn't solve anything.My car is just starving for powerwhen at idle. I can sit there and watch the battery voltage drop when Iuse my windows,heater,or anythinglike that. I don't dare use my AC because my car pretty much just stalls when I turn it on.

SOmebody please help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again.
