You'll be fine

My gt is running like a dream right now, but.... Whenever I idle with my A/C on the rpm fluctuates between 450 and 1000, and my ac blows warm air except when I drive in cool temperatures and high speed. I tried to reset the battery and pre learn its factory default settings but no luck. Anyway, help would be greatly appreciated! Other than that, it actually helps me get used to feathering the clutch more. XD

Cleaning the throttle body fixed this problem with my '06. You tube mustang throttle body cleaning. Bunch of videos. $5.00 fix.

Yeah, that was actually gonna be my next step.. what's the worst that can happen from just cleaning a throttle body? I'm scared I might damage a plug within the process. :/

Clean the throttle body. You probably need a compressor.

@muscledom but the compressor still initiates and cycles. I'm thinking it could be phreon.

I just put tape over the plug to keep the cleaner out of the connectors.

You just need throttle body cleaner spray and a rag. I also used a toothbrush to get into the nooks and crannys.
