Re: Low idle??

Check the PCV valve, it should rattle when shaken and you should be able to blow into it one way, but not the other. Check the hoses running to the intake from the PCV valve. Check all the vacuum lines running off of the vacuum block. A vacuum leak would make it run too lean. Try some fuel injector cleaner in a tank of gas. It could be a matter of dirty injectors. A partially clogged fuel filter could make it run too lean. Take the IAC (Idle Air Control) off and spray it with some WD-40, It's a little motor with a flange on top of the throttle body. Take the electrical connection loose on the IAC and douse it with some alcohol. Bottom line is you're getting too much air into the engine and- or not enough fuel.
