Default Check Engine Light P0506

I just had my oil changed. When I started the car, my check engine light came on. I went straight to Autozone, and they pulled up P0506 code, Idle control system RPM lower then expected.


Does anyone has any idea what this might be, or how to get it fixed?

Thanks

idle needs to be adjusted higher, or the idle cntrol valve needs to be cleaned. did the check engine light come back on after reading the code and resetting.

autozone did not reset the code, but after few hours it went away. then a day later it came back on. There really isnt any rpm issues, when i turn ac it drops a bit, but i think thats normal

yes normal on a/c. sensor may be going bad to cause the light to go on and off.
