My car idles from like 1500 and then goes all the way under 1000rpm and just continues to do that also sometimes itll idle soo low that the car will turn off im not sure what it could be i know the timing was off but we fixed that and the car has enough coolant and there doesnt seem to be any vacumm leeks but i could be wrong what could be causing this idling?

all fuel injected cars will idle high for a few minutes when it first starts up. to help it get to operating temp. but it should go back to normal idle

idle control valve, idle position sensor... could be one of those 2.

there is also a small screw on the throttle body, that can some times get loose to try adjusting that.

yea but those screws rarely come loose go with one of your sensors first.

screw = free to check and fix

sensor = potentially expensive to fix...



go for the screw first...
