When the A/C its turned on.....

My rpm's drop low, and when I turn it off they jump up for a second and then start to idel normally. Some say this is normal, any opinions?

Thanks for any info ahead of time!!

Sounds pretty normal to me. How much deviation are we talking?

Sounds like it's the A/C compressor cycling...how many rpm does it drop? 200-400? If so, that's normal.

Try resetting the idle and see if that helps ...

It's in the owner's manual, if you have one. You'll need to unplug the battery to clear the adaptive memory, or if you have a tuner re-flashing the tune will clear it. Then let the engine warm up to operating temperature and let it idle. The manual says for a couple of minutes with the A/C off, I usually let it idle for 10 minutes, then turn the A/C on and let it idle again. Then the computer should hold the same rpm's whether the A/C is on or off, unless you have some other problem.

My 05 was doing that too.
There is a slight drop (which is normal)...and I mean slight.

I had it to a point where I thought it was going to borderline stall.

Throttle body ever been cleaned?
