whats wrong with the car. almost all mkIII electrical problems are the same, i can probably diagnose it by you telling me what its syptoms are.

Its crazy, first the Driver side window wouldnt go down. I ordered the window reulator to fix it. All of a sudden after months of not working it works and the Passenger side went bonkers along with the rear PS. there both inop.
I never got to install the part I bought.

The check engine light was on, now it turned of but if I go to use the AC the RPM start to bounce and if I give it gas it dies out. So If I want to use it I cant use AC.

well the window regulators are a big big problem and a few years back there was a class action lawsuit against vw and the regulators. I would still replace both regulators to fix the window. another reason that the windows are acting funny is because of the ignition switch. this is also another very common problem that causes many wierd electrical problems. its a 7 dollar part and fixes many problems.

now for the CEL problem you should get it scanned and post the codes up on here so we start diagnosing from there. the jumpy idle when the ac is on is probably a combonation of a dirty MAF and throttle body. i really think you need to get on www.vwvortex.com and get on the mkIII forum and post your problem up there after you get your codes scanned. many many people will be willing to help you try to diagnose your problems
