I've read in a Japanese message board that Toyota admits the idling RPM going up and down when the compressor goes on and off is abnormal. They fix it by updating/replacing ECU. I really wish there is better communication between Japan and U.S., so that we don't get response like "We can't do anything unless the CEL comes on".

Note: This is not abour RPM going between 630-680. That's normal. It's about RPM going 500-800 and when it drops to 500, I can feel a little bit of shake.
