Default 94 Accord LX, just recharged AC, fluctuating idle in park

i just recharged my sisters 94 accord LX autpomatic AC for her cuz duh shes a girl and cant stand cars without AC. SO the AC works, but when she puts it in park after driving, the idle will fluctuate constantly, its a steady fluctating going from 1Kto2.5K. i tried changing the IACV but that didnt help.

The AC might be over-charged now...

you most likely overcharged the A/C. There is a High Pressure switch that will turn the compressor off when the pressure gets to high. I charged up my car and I did it like this added r134a a little at a time until the compressor cut off at 6200 rpm. You add refigerant at idle and check the pressure at several rpm points to make sure that it is not over charged.
