Whenever im at a stop my rpm likes to dip down below the 1 mark. It used to dip then come out of it, but now it seems to stay under...this results in it idling rough....how do you adjust the idle? thats the problem right?

normal idle should be between 700 > 750 rpm !
1250 rpm when A/C is on !

any way if you want to raise your idle a bit check the faq's section ! but don't raise it to much or there will be a stress in the tranny ! and it may disel when you shut it down ! :)

Mine did that when every it was warm out so I assed a bottle of STP 4 Cly oil stuff to it and it never happned again. Btw I do it every time I change my oil. But before you add anything to you oil maybe other people should reply to this. I just did it because it thickned things up in the engine and I gues it sealed better I am not sure but it works.
I have been doing this for about a year.
