Hi jojones44,

The computer has to relearn to stabilise the idling speed.

Run engine till it warms up with all electrical load off until the idling speed stablises.

Turn A/C on and run for 5 minutes and if the idling still is too low, clean the throttle body and Idle Solenoind control and retest.
