So my idle without the AC is perfect stays at 860rpm but as soon as I turn on the AC the idle drops down to about 840rpm then if i rev the car to 1,500rpm and let off the idle dips to 570rpm almost kills the car but then it bounces back up to 840rpm can you explain to me how to adjust the short fuel trim or help me out thank you so much.

Please post the datalog rather than a screenshot. Probably you need to adjust the amount of air that bypasses the throttle body and then look at the idle duty control.

Fuel trims are pretty good. o2 sensor might be a little slow to respond, but that is not the problem. I think you just need to check and adjust the amount of air that bypasses the idle controller, and perhaps adjust the duty cycle.

First you must unplug the idle controller and set the idle manually at the throttle body at about 550 RPM.

Then all adjustments are made to the idle section of the parameters window in the software.

Have you tried making changes to the slider for idle valve duty cycle adjustment?
