Default well, i found this post by dave...

41/55-Signal from A/C control module -W/W - signal used by ECU to increase idle speed through ISV control when A/C compressor is activated (actually just maintains the idle seed when the extra load from A/C compressor is added to the system during idle)

so, im thinking its ok that it would increase, but is it normal to not just stay at the increased speed?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/149829.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/149829.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default "Constant" is a relative term. It bounces a little bit when the AC compressor comes on/off at idle.

It's a machine. Has to get a signal, process the signal, decide what to do and then send a signal to a device to modify the original input (takes time and the control amounts are not perfect) (basically a sophisticated trial and success method).

Default well, my idle goes from 750 (third tick on tach) to 1000 rpm. And ever since my cleaned injectors..

my idle has not dropped once, but it will burp every now and then up in RPMs, and i was wondering if the ac is magnifying whatever the cause is? or is the compressor reving the engine up 250 rpm's OK?

Default Here's something I found this weekend,AC costs two psi of boost,,,

traveling along at 0 on the boost gauge then turn on AC and the needle jumps 2 PSI.
