Are you turning on the compressor (as in turning on the air conditioning) or just the vent? If you're turning on the compressor and the revs drop, that's normal. The compressor is driven by an engine belt, and when it is turned on, it puts additional drag and load on the engine, causing the revs to drop.

    I'll do some digging and see what else I can come up with. Do you realize that throwing an "inappropriate" rating on the answer makes my ratings average on here take a decent hit and also harms my chances of getting paid on Premium solutions? It kind of sucks because an inappropriate rating would be justified if I told you to refill your washer fluid tank or something like that. If the info wasn't complete to begin with, it's hard to see how that is justified.

    Anyhow, I will think it through and do some digging and I'll get back to you on this shortly.

2006 pt cruiser, we changed the thermostat, doesnt overheat all the way but in idle it rises, as long as the rmp gauge is up to about 2 it goes back down until we let of the gas. Pls help!
At idle the water pump turns slowly as compared to when the engine is running at higher rpm. I believe the water pump has lost efficiency, probably due to corrosion of the impeller. If it were mine I'd change the water pump and quite possibly switch to a different type of coolant. Never ever use tap water in a radiator, Always use distilled water in the gallon jugs. They're about 99 cents each at the grocery store. Minerals in tap water calcify and clog the small passages whereas distilled has no minerals and doesn't.

Heat only works at 3000 rmp after car has come up to temp. If rpm drops below 3000 heat temp at vents will drop. Have changed the thermastat with no positive results. Temp gage has shown a quicker rise in...
Is the coolant level ok? After replacing the thermostat, did you bleed the air from the system? The bleeder should be at the front (on engine near radiator). Low coolant level, or air in the system can cause what you describe.

1996 toyota corolla rpm drops when a/c or lights is turned on
There is a solenoid that is mounted on the carburetor that increases the idle speed when extra strain is put on the power supply (a/c etc). Usally it gets dirt in it and jams which can cause it to burn out. A spray with a CRC type product and giving it a wiggle will usally get it going again.

RMP drops
you may have a vacum hose not connected for it to stop and not idle
when you turn the a/c on it has a sevo operating the thottle to give it more revs so it doesnt stop
maybe you just need to increase the idle screw a bit

1995 Mercury Villager shots down when i step on the break.
Be sure to ALWAYS have more than 1/4 of gasoline in your tank, this may be caused when having it below that. Also having less than 1/4 could damage your fuel pump wich is an expensive part, so it's good on taking care of it.
