Idle

I have a 2000 Crysler Sebring Convertible. I just had to have all of my
valves replaced due to a timing belt that jumped and caused damage to them.
I just got it back today and after having it for a couple of hours it started
idling at about 1500RPM's. It jumped all the way to 3000RPM's by the time I
parked my car. I noticed that if my air conditioning was ON it idled lower
(1000rpm) if turned OFF the air it jumped to 3000rpm's. Does it just need to
be adjusted from the new work? Any ideas why it's linked to the air?

Could be a vacuum leak.. but it shouldn't do that at all. since we don't
know what engine it has don't expect to get to much help here.

It has the engine that came with the car. I believe it's a 2.5. I can look
it up in my manual. Do you have to reset the computer on Chryslers after you
repair the engine? My stereo was a disaster after I got it back. The clock
was completely wrong and I lost all of my programming. Sorry, if I sound
ignorant, but I am. I was actually thinking it might be a vacuum leak myself
from all of the research I've done. I'm taking back to my mechanic to make
sure they didn't miss anything.
