k so I adjusted my idle because It was running kind of rough&stalling if I reversed out or took off to fast&oil light was coming on.So In park I'm@1k but in drive foot on break ac on blast I'm @850-900.It starts now with just the bump of the key & no stalling no other issues.But wondering if this is too high.I read the sweat spot was 750 but I didn't like it there so should I bump it back down to 800 or so?btw it''s an auto.Thanks

What trans ? If it's an automatic , low fluid can cause stalling especially in reverse.

It's an auto...all my fluids are correct it was idling @around 500 or 600 before.It's fine now.I'm just wondering if 850-900 is too high in drive foot on break with ac on.1000 when in park

Your choice. Factory is 850 on autos in park. 750 for manuals. I set mine for 700
