There are a few things that can make the idle fluctuate. Normally the idle will drop, then rise slightly, and then return to steady when the compressor cycles on and off, or when the cooling fans turn on and off as well. The added draw on the engine causes it to compensate for the load. A problematic cause would be a faulty idle compensator. This piece activates when the AC is turned on and raises the engine rpm to compensate for the added load of the compressor. Newer vehicles are controlled by the ECM and will adjust the IAC valve as needed. Either way you will notice a momentary change in engine RPM. Anything more than momentary such as surging will need to be checked out and most likely involves the throttle body.

Why idle rpm is higher when air-con is not on?

Idle RPM is typically higher when the air conditioning (A/C) is off because the engine does not have to compensate for the additional load that the A/C compressor places on it. When the A/C is engaged, the engine works harder to power the compressor, which can lower idle RPM. Conversely, with the A/C off, the engine can maintain a higher RPM more easily, resulting in smoother idle performance. Additionally, some vehicles are calibrated to adjust idle speed based on various operational conditions to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
