I think its funny , cause it doesn't fix anything to just turn up the idle. The plate that goes between the IAC valve is better,because youre adjusting air flow through the valve not the throttle plate, I would definitly go with the alternator first.Get that out of the way,those cheap ass stock ones arent nothing but problems

Because its not an idle screw!!!! There afew things that has to be done to keep everything in calibration (tps, IAC). Its not a simple "turn the screw" to idle it up

Shit, I'm just gonna drive it dogging then if cleaning up the IAC doesn't fix anything. I'll replace the alternator when it dies.
