All the research I have done on this solenoid it is for anti-dieseling for our trucks, though it doesn't mean you can repurpose it to "up" the idle for when the A/C kicks on. I'd image you'll have to tap the gas pedal at stop as it isn't all that powerful. I spent a lot of time getting a working/proper solenoid, finally got a NOS one off eBay some time back.

As I am using mine for the original purpose, I have summer and winter idle adjustments. After two summers, this has worked well for me.
