Re: Idle rpm help!

Idle is computer controlled. It should be at 650 with all accessories off. If it is not correct, you will need to perform idle air control reset procedure. Warm up engine, turn off ignition, disconnect IAC, restart engine, adjust idle to 450 by turning base idle screw(may need to remove plug covering screw), reconnect IAC. If engine will not idle at 450, figure out why.
