Idle speed is 500RPM? That's the idle speed to adjust the minimum air position of the throttle plates, but once the IAC is enabled, the target idle should be closer to 600-650 RPM in drive. Did I misunderstand your statement?

the tbis have a really low idle speed. IIRC the base idle speed is like 450 rpms from the factory.
