Hey My RPM idle sits around 1100-1000 RPM. I brought it to a mechanic he tried a lot of things, and still can't figure out what is wrong. Anyone here might know what is wrong with it? I need it fixed, soo i can go smog it and register my car. Thanks in advance.

Did your mechanic try adjusting the idle speed screw, located on the front of the throttle body?

dont think our cars have idle air control screws. I believe it is controlled by an idle air control valve which is electronically controlled by the computer.
I would recomend you clean your throttle body with a toothbrush and then reset your ecu by disconnecting your battery for 10 minutes. This will force the cars computer to relearn the idle and fuel mixture. |

Is your timing set to 10 degrees before?

Your throttle cable is just too tight...

hey, sorry for the late replies, I haven't had time to be on here. I still can't figure out what is wrong. I haven't really tried anything yet. I took it to the mechanic the other day, he unpluged my IAC and my idle dropped to around 900RPM. Anyone think they might know what is wrong?
