Increase Idle?
I was wondering if bumping up the idle to 750-800 would help the AC and power steering at idle speeds. Has anyone done this?

You need to check for other problems. I've never had any problems with these functions at a stock idle.

AC sucks at idle. Power steering is ok just a little weak when towing a trailer and trying to maneuver in a parking lot. Was just curious my tuner has this option.
