    the idle characteristics need adjusted for the AC tables
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Yeah I thought you could change the idle depending on if the AC was on or off.

    Sounds like the iac can't open enough, give this a try.
    Open the tb set screw until it registers 1% with the scanner, now back it down a bit until it read 0%.
    This will allow more air at idle and allow the iac to close a bit, which allows it to be more stable, not work as much.
    This is the same idea behind drilling a hole in the tb blade.
    I'm sure he's tried all the tables he's comfortable with, so this might help.

    I had a truck I couldn't get idle stable either, so I removed the maf and sd tuned it. Worked just fine after that.

    good luck,
    allen
