Well, I know my ac makes my rpms drop fast when I'm driving. I have an mtx so I can't try my car to see what mine does in drive, only in neutral. Sorry [&o]

the Ac is not the problem what troubles me is the rpm with just the engine running the idle rpm in neutral or Parked is 1500 or 1400 right now. I know that it wasnt like that before it was always under 1000 rpm

you might just have to go in and adjust the throttle line

Check if you have a vac leak

Buy some throttle body cleaner, turn on your car, then spray the cleaner around the intake manifold, throttle body, and vacuum lines. When the engine changes "tone" from the spray thats where the leak is coming from.
