really low idle rpm's

my car idles really low... below 500 rpm's

i have cleaned throttle body and treated both tank and injectors and nothing has worked

i was told by a friend to "idle it up" ... what does this mean, would it help, and if so how do i do it

check your battery and alternator and batteries Plus or somewhere, that could cause it.

Does it idle smooth at 500? Mine gets rough when it dips to 600 every now and then..
