thats what i thought it was supost to be. i cant get it down. ive tried unpluging the 2 sensors in the iacv with the car off and the screw out pretty much as far as it could then started the car and then just kept turing down i went from 2000 to 1200 but i still have a ways to go to get it down. anything else i can do? also btw i tried the same thing again but with the ecu screw turned all the way to the right and same thing happens.

with car off, unplug the 2 sensors on the TPS, turn car on and put in N. Adjust the small screw on the throttle body, near the throttle cable and adjust to 650. Turn off car, put sensors back on. Start car, pull emergency brake and put into drive. If you need to tweek the RPM, turn the screw on the IACV.

I'm just getting in on the thread. I have the same problem. What work have you done on your car recently?

are you talking about the throttle body stop screw? i dont really want to mess with that unless i really have to. and ive done the other step that you sugjested already. and i havent done any work latley. i did clean up the tb and iacv a long long time ago though. but it did break that black thing i forget what its called but alot of ppl have had it happen when there strut bar hits it. but i replaced it now i need to adjust the idle.

yes, the throttle screw stop. Adjust that to about 650 RPM in N. Then put in drive, see where the rpm is at, then if you need to adjust, use the screw on the IACV.
Lately I've replace MAF, knock sensor and adjusted the idle. Runs great!
