Have you ever pulled apart the aac or what ever it's called off the back of the plenum and given it a clean? I'm not 100% on what it does, but it does play a part in changing the airflow within the engine and also changing the idle speed when you turn the ac on. They do get gummed up which will effect its operation. There's a valve or 2 on springs that can go stiff and not slide properly if dirty. Carb cleaner and brush for the win.
