Car idles low! Can I adjust it?
Car idles low! Can I adjust it?
Well, just as the title says... it idles like at 550 and today after a nitrous run it died. I just need it higher... when it idles that low it stumbles a little; at around 900 it feels great and straightens itself out.

Probably the Iac needs cleaning but ya can turn up the idle screw.

Idle speed is controlled by the computer. Turning the idle stop screw will let more air in, but the computer will compensate by telling the IAC to change position to achieve the set idle speed.

Are you sure your car doesn't need a tune? Mine idles smooth as a babies butt at around 500-550 in gear. The only time you can feel it in the seat some is if I'm idling in traffic for a bit.
