Why does ur car idle higher when ur AC is on?

It's because the motor have more pulley to turn, so It need more revolution to support the extra job. Test this; run normaly with your car for 1 week without AC, and 1 week with AC; you should see a difference in fuel consommation.

I think that your car is supposed to idle to 8000 rpm. But i'm not sure

i don't know...must have been the weather...cause it's running just fine...thanx anyway
Generally your car runs lower with the A/C on... your car doesnt increase revs to compensate on its own.

Good indication that you have a vacuum leak if ur cars idling that high. Turning more belts and having more electronics causes the car to use more power.

auto and manual ecu's are the same, the wiring in the connectors that is.

my celica is a 97 so the ecu wiring is different but i decifered it from my chiltons manual(what a crappy book)

there was no diagram for my year, there is one that is close, but i think one of the wires was wrong.
