This seems normal to me, but you can try removing the idle air control valve and cleaning it to improve responsiveness.

Sound like you could have a defective ISC (idle speed control) sensor.

How do we do an idle relearn on a 2001 mustang 3.8 V6?

to reset an ECM (CPU) program it will be necessary to use a scanner tool. The idle program is already in the cpu so all it takes is to reset the corrupted cpu program

That is pretty much normal. When the AC engages it's compressor it triggers the idle sensor to increase idle to compensate for the huge load that an AC unit puts on a vehicle. If your AC is producing cold air, approx. 40 degrees on high, then it should be ok. Power loss is all part of the program with AC. It takes much more noticeable power to run an AC unit on a vehicle, and especially a 4 cylinder. Ever see your house lights dim a bit when you turn on the Home AC central air? :.) Every item under your hood connected to your engine steals power from the engine. The AC is the king of all takers of power.

How to set idle for 1984 mustang 3.8L, 6cyl

Technically the idle speed is not adjustable. The computer controls idle speed with the idle speed control motor.
Base idle is around 500 RPM with normal idle in park at 800.

Check engine light and trac off light on in toyota 2012

Answer - I have a 2012 Toyota Sequoia and the Check Engine light came on and then the Trac Off light came on. The car felt like it was in 4 wheel drive. I read around and found two things that I had to do to get the car fixed.

(1) Clean the gas cap, lubricate the "O" ring around the gas cap, and read the gas cap. It has to click at least once. Make sure there is no gunk around the gas nozzle as well so that the cap and nozzle get a tight seal.

(2) I unscrewed the battery cables positive then negative. I let them be disconnected for 10 minutes. I returned connected the battery and both warning lights were now off and car was back to normal (other than having to reset clocks, radio, etc).

Note: I did notice that the car at first did not idle as it did beforehand. It took a few minutes of me driving around the neighborhood and then the idling returned to normal. Hope this helps.

I just had my timing belt replaced on 06 mitsubishi galant. Do i need to reset the computer. If so, how? Idle in drive seems a little low when stopped at a light. And is it normal for the car to sound a...

You do not need to reset the computer. The idle speed is low because the computer was reset when the battery was disconnected when the T belt was replaced, the system will slowly adjust the idle back up to the correct speed based on your driving habits, it learns as you drive. It will take about 100 miles.
