Default Uneven Idle

Here is a quirky thing I found out yesterday while driving .... whenever I am at a complete stop and I roll down my windows my car starts idling unevenly and when I stop playing with the windows so does the uneven idling... is this occuring on anyone else's car???

I have noticed an uneven idle before, but not any relation to the windows.

I reset the ecu 2 days ago to see if that helps for some reason.

If not, I will have the dealer check it out more thoroughly.

There shouldn't be much affect to the idle on a continuous basis but any kind of electrical power drain; power windows in use, turning on the head lights, even moving the electric seats, etc. will cause a small drain on the system which will temporarily alter the idle speed.

probably the alternator kicking in, or something of that sort.
