A/C troubles on 350sdl
So my a/c was working perfectly until last week. On idle the compressor shuts off completely and only kicks in above 1800rpm. The only thing I can think of is that something is giving a false rpm reading.

That sounds logical... and there are lots of threads addressing that kind of situation..
but I have no FSM's for that late a car.....someone will show up soon... a slow weekend.. people may be watching the Olympics... check the search /archives for potentially faster answer...

What are your pressures? Do your Aux fans run at idle?
May be the speed sensor on the compressor going out, klima relay problems, or serpentine belt slippage if pressures are good.

Pressures are optimal and the Compressor is brand new as the clutch was giving out and it comes with a new sensor attached. The fans kick in once the compressor engages, Klima relay is good as it has been tested on my other 350SDL and the belt, tensioner and tensioner dampener are new as well.

I would get a test LED rigged up to the coil similar to what Jeremy5848 did on his 124. Let's verify if the problem is electrical or mechanical.

So what I did today was swap out the compressor to the other 350sdl and it works perfectly, I'm confident that it is an electrical issue with engine rpm (my tach is functioning okay).

I would make sure the tach signal is showing up at the right pin on the Klima. And the speed sensor from the AC is showing up on its pin.
The Klima does a comparison between the two so if one of the signals is missing it can't get the agreement. Also make sure you have the right Klima, since you switched engines, the ratio between the engine speed and the compressor speed may be different than the stock engine.
