anyone have this idle problem
For some reoson when the car is at idle the rpms keep going up and down alittle up then down.. wtf is that? I never had that before..
Also when coming to a stop at a red light rpms hold at 1.5k then drop to normal idle all the time.
I changed my idle control valve sensor it did not fix the problem what else is left?

Clean your throttle body & set the default idle speed a bit lower.
The default idle speed is set by the throttle stop screw. With TPS disconnected, engine up to operating temp your default idle speed should be around 650 RPM's.

The problem at the red light started after me and a friend cleaned it.

Do you have pictures of where to do these adjustments?
