So heres my problem
My car starts up right? When its in park it idles at about 1k-1.1k Neutral it idles a little lower. Everything else it goes way down to about 500, shakes like theres an earthquake in my car, and sounds like its gonna die, but never does...yet. Anyone know how to fix this problem? |

manny, that is only if worst comes worst right? Cuz my Idle air control (IAC) valve was messed up too, but what I did was removed my intake and the two screws which hold on the cover to the IAC, and i used some brake cleaner and sprayed the back of the knob where it connects to the Throttle body really good and moved the knob back and forth a lot and voi la. been almost two years now and everything is fine!
