Dude, there's a reason that capital letters and punctuation are a part of the language.

A vac leak would make it idle higher, try disconnecting the MAF sensor and take it for a spin and see if there is a difference.

If your that lazy, you deserve ambiguous communication.

As far your idle problem, I would first check your IAC counts with a scanner to see if it's responding.

Does your RPM go down when you turn on the AC?

Your IAC motor is responding if it went back up to 550 with the AC on. Lights may be flickering becasue the idle is so low. It would still be nice to know what the IAC counts are though.

Is the car stock? I mean throttle body and tune.
