This is relatively common. One thing you can check is how well the IAC motor is working. Pull the cover off the air filter box, and remove the air filter. Start the car, and turn on the A/C. When it runs the compressor, you should hear the air being sucked through the IAC inlet hole. It will get louder with the compressor running, and then quieter with the compressor off. If it isn't then the IAC may not be functioning correctly.
If you have a helper, have them turn the wheels also, as the IAC should open a bit to compensate for the load. It may also need cleaned if there is enough carbon buildup in there to restrict air flow.

Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Too much time spent here is a sign of a bad case of Ownaneonvirus.Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
