Does the idle speed hunt when the AC is on, the clutch pedal is depressed and the shifter is in any gear? If so, check the clutch pedal dis-engage switch. It is located on the bracket where the clutch pedal lever rests when the clutch is disengaged. The switch is a very cheap part (@$15 US at the dealer) but can be fixed. It likely has a broken coil spring inside that is preventing the switch from closing (and sending a ground signal to the ECU) when the pedal is depressed. Check by pulling out on the plastic rod.
