Adjust Idle
Hello. Can someone tell me how to adjust the idle so the RPMs are slightly over 1000?

I have done a tune up already.. plugs, coils, wires, air filter.. stock engine..

Get an AccessPORT or aftermarket ECU. Adjust the idle tables to the desired idle point. Reflash the ECU with the changed tables. There is no idle speed screw like drive-by-wire cars.

What the others have said, Cobb Accessport.

Why do you need such a high idle anyways?

In a forum comprised almost entirely of text, 'reading' may be required to gather information.

Go ahead and clean your MAF sensor too. That has a lot to do with the idle.
