So I did a search and nothing helpful...

Car idles fine under normal conditions. I've noticed recently that on the first start cold or hot it will usually stall. When I flip on the a/c it idles at 500rpm at best. Any thoughts?
 
Yeah, not to argue, its only when I start the car and only when the a/c is on. Every other time its dead on. I figure the ISC is ok...?
 
This happened to me in the winter when i would first start the car and put the heat on. My isc motor was perfectly fine to so im not sure why it does that?:confused: I have the same car.
 
Have you boost leak tested to 25-30psi? Have you tested ISC&IAC for proper operation? Have you properly adjusted your ISC? Is your mechanical timing correct? Is your base ignition timing correct? Are you properly tuned at idle? Have you checked ignition operation when warm (i.e., transistor, coil pack test differently when the engine is warm), etc.

Lots of stuff, this should get you going.
