Also, Freeze-12 won't circulate mineral oil very well and that will affect the longevity of your new compressor.
Man I guess I'm slow or something, but I don't really understand what you were saying in that first paragraph about the "usual question". I'm assuming you are just saying you are against using freeze 12. I really don't know anything about the stuff, or much about A/C in general, except for that my freeze 12 cools damn good, easily comparible to how well my R-12 worked, and is real cheap. So it works good for me! I'm just throwing out another option for him. I'm no AC expert. Freeze 12 seems to be working great for me. I have no idea if it's hurting my compressor. If the stuff is really bad freon, then sorry. But it sure is working good for me!

And as for your idle, here is the link on setting your idle

I personally ended up just blocking off the ISC and FIAV with one of QPR's block-off plates.
