Talking 98 Vanden Plas

Hey all I am back after a winter break.

Had the car put away for the winter for about 5 months. Started up first couple of cranks. I did start it up during storage a few times.

So took it for a drive (nice change from my 95 chev cargo van!) Everything worked perfectly.

Got a bit warm (weather) today so I turned on auto a/c worked as well. But when I got to a stop light I noticed my RPM down to about 450. Without A/C on RPM is about 650. Turned AUTO back on and dropped again to about 450.

Should I be worried about this? Battery shows 13.8 volts on my RealGauge. No codes. Still too scared to check top speed.

I guess I will clean all connection to A/C condenser?

Any advise?

p.s. my wife thinks I love my Jag more than her! She wont let me buy another Sovereign Jag I see for sale. (no advice on that please!)

cheers!
