Tryin ckin to see if u have a trouble code stored.The ecu is pretty good at catchin any sensors that fail.I practicly pulled out one sensor at time and started my engine and then the code gave me the exact sensor that i disconnected.But for some reason the ck engine light would stay on like a hard failer.I read that for moderate failers the Ecu compensates for the Broken sensor or part.

I have this same problem. rpms always running low at idle. If i turn the air on my car will just about stall out. i usually have to keep taping the gas. Any clue on what this could be? -Zany

If you want to simply raise your rpm's you can do what i did and all you have to do is look on the throttle body and on the front of it you should see a flat head screw thats set about a 1/2 inch down a hole. Now im pretty sure that turning this screw counter clockwise will raise the rpm the more you turn it and of corse clockwise will lower it but if you have the car running you will be able to hear it to tell. hope it helps as it did me.
