wanr to knoe how to adjust my idle on my car it's layin on .5 RPM it was at 1 rpm before and want to adjust it back thanks

 

If your car is at .5 RPM there is something seriously wrong with it, and I dont think it would be on at that point either. I think you are refering to 500RPM and trying to get it to 1000RPM(which is a bit high for idle)

 

Opps yeah my RPM gauge is at 500 RPM on idel want to put it up to 1000 hehe sorry for the confusion thanks

 

The normal idle is 700 + or - independent of transmission type.

 

does your car act like it is going to stall at 500?? if not then leave it alone

 

U know the crazy thing is that when i try to adjust the idle with the TPS i can't level it out to 1000 rpm it would be either more then 1000 or at 500 ? u guys know what's up with my car? and by the way does any know how to adjust it the other way i guess there is a real way to adjust please tell me with detail locations and all thanks !

 

I am actually having the same problem, except sometimes the car just stalls, when the car is in motino it runs fine. I changed the spark plugs and bought fuel injecter cleaner and it still low on idle. I do here a hissing noise from underneath the car, if i were to have an air leak, how could I find it and how could I fix it.

Which you should have read before posting.

 

RPMs:

700 +/- 50 (automatic transmission, in Neutral)
625 +/- 50 (5-speed)

I thought somebody said something about not messing with the idle adjuster earlier in a DBM post. I can't remember who it was and couldn't find it in search but if something is making your rpm go that low, chances are changing the idle adjustment is a "quick fix". You should probably find out what's causing it and fix that instead.

On idle my car is at 500 rpm and it feels fine. I wouldn't worry about it unless you feel like it's going to stall.

 

Might want to check you throtle and idle cables if they are loose they will jack up your idle adjustment and also if you tighten them both your throtle reponce with be much better im talking a whole lot better.

Thanks you guys you guys help a lot !!

 

Turn on your AC, that seems to bump up my idle from 600 to 900 RPM :P
hehe.

 

Check your vacuum hoses for any type of leaks or "Falsse Air". False Air is when your MAF is getting a leak somewhere and it will cause it to make bad readings controlling where your car is idling at. For example if it feels it is too high/low then it will change your idle accordingly maybe it finds it high in your case and lowers the idle. Just athought.

On my '97 GLE the idle RPM is about 550, and my '98 GXE the idle is at 750 rpm.

 

Hey for about a month now my stupid car was shaking at 550rpm when idleing, well after chagin sprk plugs, and adding all those stupid fuel injecter fluiding to my tank nothing happened, then someone suggested that I spray throttlebody fluid in my throttle body because some crap my be in the throttle. and it worked, now I am at 770rpm, no shakes, thanks to whoever suggested that for me. its a pain in the *** though, i had to take the filter box out and the thing with the senser but it was worth it.
