Possible low idle?

I've noticed that since i've gotten my car back my idle is surprisingly low. When putting my car in reverse to leave my garage it is so low that sometimes the car either won't move backwards or moves incredibly slowly. The same is true for red lights. Sometimes when I let go of the brake for a green light after waiting at a red, the car will not move until I hit the gas. Should I be worried about this? I remember my idle speed not being as fast when I got my system installed, as the added weight probably doesn't help idling, but is it possible to get it raised? Thanks!

Yeah, Zach, just take it to your local nissan dealership and ask them to adjust the idle up for you. Quick fix.

But it almost sounds more like you are having transmission issues instead of idle issues. Especially if your car isn't rolling at all...
