Default 2000 GS300 Idle Problem

I had my A/C Compressor replaced and afterwards I have started to have idle issues when I cut the A/C on and when it gets hot outside sometimes. Is there something that I can adjust or being that my model is mainly ran off computers will I need to take it to a dealer and have them adjust something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does your idle drop down lower than normal when you turn the ac on then it goes back up within seconds or does it fluctuates constantly? Cause that's the issue I'm having. It drops below 500

It fluctuates constantly and then once I get going it smooths out. Then every now and then it happens again.

I kind of experience the same thing when I turn on the A/C. It like kind of pulses and then it corrects itself after like 10 seconds or so. Then when it idles again it will do the same.

Correct, I am hoping someone on the forum has a solution. I am hoping this is not damaging the motor because I am ready to begin my build and this is the last thing I need.

Try cleaning the throttle body by wipeing it out with a rag wet with throttle body or carb cleaner. Hold the blades open while doing this. Disconnect the battery for a bit also, I have had luck doing this with alot of the early fly by wire cars/trucks

I have the same problem, though just barely noticeable. Turn on the A/C and the RPM's fluctuate a bit but quickly quits. Replaced battery, cleaned throttle body, and IACV, replaced TPS, tightened throttle bolt, replaced spark plugs and wires, and so on and it still is the same. PS-I did not replace those parts cause of the A/C idle stuff! I'm not that weird:/
