Might need a tappet adjustment.. get a proper workshop to check your valve clearences.. est $200+ job..

It may be your heat shield if you still have your stock one on. The bolts tend to become loose from the vibration.

I may be wrong and it may be something else.

Hey question i had a tappet adjustment recently. since i noticed that when i turn the A/C on the idle drops real low almost stalling then it goes real high to like 1.5K then it goes down to normal. but it keeps droping real low only when the A/C is on.
do u think i need to reset the ECU?
