Hey guys...recently my car has been idling under 1k, which is way too low and is causing problems...how do you adjust the engine idle speed?

on the top of the throttle body near the 2 small vac lines there is a standard screw tip on the upper left corner. Turn it in or out to get the desired idle speed. It usually doesnt change much on its own so you may want to look into other causes of the problem as well either a cloged IACV behind the throttle body bolted to the intake or at least check your ecu codes to see if its a sensor of some sort.
I assume you have an automatic. If you set it much higher than 1k you're going to have issues... These were designed to idle lower.

It's idling at around probably 200-600 rpm's at the highest...I'm beginning to think I may have some engine problems coming
EDIT: Yes, it is an automatic
it should idle around 850.. have you gave it a full tune up yet?
