Idle rpm drop
I heard its normal if ac is on and the idle rpm drop but mine drops if i just turn the fan on for the heat. Is this normal too?

Stock tune is often pretty unstable during idle

manual or auto? Just blip the throttle if you feel like you're about to stall. It sounds like the problem is your tune or you have a vacuum leak. We need a log to make sure.

When you turn the fan on with defrost settings on the AC kicks in to dry the air even though it is on a warm setting. This gives you the normal small displacement engine drop in RPM. Perfectly normal. Try turning it onto just the floor settings and a bet you get no drop.

My 2013 auto would dip every time I came to a stop, with ,or without ac on. In sport mode it was worse, since it would hold the downshift longer. If I came to a quick stop in sport, I could stall it.

@Gunman I read people saying this all the time. I have a feeling there is a fault that isn't tripping a CEL.
Also for reference, when I had an ABS CEL / limp mode, my idle would dip and nearly stall anytime I would brake to a stop. |
