nevermind! I'm an idiot. I didn't realize i adjusted the trac throttle position sensor. I didn't realize there where two and i adjusted the wrong one!

I really need to pay more attention!

Please post the results of your TPS adjustment. What was your initial and final idle speeds with the AC on and off. I have a similar problem with low idle speed. I'm not sure whether to adjust my TPS or replace and adjust a new TPS. No codes present.

Umm i didn't adjust it. I was going to but i was so happy about fixing the trac light i put my tools away. The only reason i was gonna adjust my TPS was because when the car is in drive and stopped i get a very very minor vibration in the steering wheel and seatback. I'll adjust it sometime this week and post my results.

If you have a low idle just adjust the TPS a bit clockwise and see what happens. Make sure your sparks and wires are good though. That can cause a lower than normal idle.
