Mine too, does the same thing. Its normal for an Inline 6 Cylinder. For the V8 however, it should idle at 500RPM with NO A/C and 650RPM with A/C.

Regardless what rpm it is, the most important thing is:
Idle is stable at certain rpm and your car is not shaking.

same as yours too, no change with or without a/c
but mine is a bit not stable.. its moving up and down a bit.

first checked with dealership, no errors on the computer.
so take an initiative my self to change the sparkplugs, oil & oil filter..
somehow the tremors still there..
then checked again to the dealership,
still no errors

but engine runs & sound smooth i also using the best petrol there is.
anyone know what the problem probably is??
sorry for the OOT
