Afterwards my idle still fluctuates a bit but since it's higher up I don't feel like the car wants to stall or anything. I took my car to the dealer on a few occassions and all they do is check the ECU. If it doesn't toss an error code, it's "normal" and they won't fix it.
Since raising my idle this isn't an issue for me anymore. It's still doesn't have a BMW-like rock-steady idle (no Z does) but I don't notice it any more.

what is this cipher thing? I am willing to pay to bring my idle to what the car is with the AC on. With the AC on, the car idles like it should be. With it off, it is all over. Matter of fact, I just let the car idle inside the garage. Every 10-20 sec, I would hear a small bang someone under the engine/transmission/exhaust area. What the heck is that? I just did the idle relearn, I don't know if that did anything.
