HELP!!!! Messed up idle need help!

jpumpkinn · 07-10-2001, 09:11 PM

I was cleaning my IAB idle air bypass and decided to clean the throttle body also. When I finished the the car was studdering. I decided to adjust the throttle and I messed it up. The check engine light comes on and off now and my idle goes up and down randomly. How can I fix this? How do I adjust the idle back? What is the normal idle suppost to be at? PLEASE HELP!!!

Whatever screw you turned to mess it up, fix it with it also, i never messed with my idle before, it was probaly studdering cuz of the tb cleaner still burning out, make sure you didnt knock off any vacuum's or iab plug.
