How do I adjust my idle. My car usually idles at 500 rpm and every now an then when I get on it it idles so low it quits. How do I idle up?

if u know anything about vacuem hoses try messing with those or if not theres a little screw by your throttle possition sensor. turn up or down. see if that helps

YA turn that screw AFTER u disconnect the IACV plug on the manafold and yes it will throw a code but that is the only way.... after u are done remove the ECU and the hazard FUSE for 15-30s.... WAAAA LAAA your idle is adjusted

The underside of your hood should have a sticker that will tell you what you should idle at...dont crank it up to high, or you could idle around town at 30 MPH......hehehehhe...
