    Question my A/C fan cycles on and off when idling. Will It hurt the system if I just leave my fan on when idling?

    No it will not.

    Depending on the engine you can change ECM parameters for engine fan time. Longer fan on/off time will help with fan clutch life.

    No it will not. Actually you should leave the fan on when idling it will give you colder AC. Also will keep your engine temperature cooler
