Default Idle with AC question

I have noticed that when the AC not only does the idel drop some initially for the load but when i gas the car while idling that the idle drops low causing a shimmy and then bounces back up.

Do you guys experience this ?

Thanks,

Whoa having some issues reading that lol!!! Umm when I turn the AC on the idle does increase, I'm sure its the computer correcting for the extra load. Similar to with you turn on the headlights, drop the top,or roll the windows down the idle increases cause of the added load

Let me claify lol.

The car seems to idle fine without ac.

Then For example:

When the ac is on and I give the car some gas while at a stop light, as the i let off the gas, the idle drops down to around 600 or so and 'shimmys" before bouncing back up to around 900/1000.

I didn't think it would shimmy like that but wasn't sure.

Thanks,

my ac button gets a lot of use. I turn the ac off until the 2-3 shift almost every time I move from a stop.
