Default rough idle

im experience some rough idle conditions. should i just adjust the idle control on the throttle body. or could it be something else. temp is usally a quarter or at most a half. but when i start to move it goes away.

is it only at cold start up? all the time when you are idling... try to explain yourself with the utmost details u can.. it will make for an easier response..... what is it idling at when its rough? really low? if so then adjust the idle control screw a bit... get your tps adjusted correctly.. a member of fafracing happens to have the tps analyzer deal... if you want to talk to him his name on here is mizike ...but for now just gimme more details...

Damn, that is a low idle. Bring your idle up higher and it should smooth out some. Shit, my engine wont idle at 500 rpm's, it will just die out!

sound slike the timing and TPS are wacked out, the idle mixture screw will not fix your problem, it the TPS.

You need to come over to my house and get the car adjusted correctly. We do have that tool for this purposes.
