In my humble experience, 90% of "idle issues" can be solved with a simple turning of a screw. On the trottle body plate lever, there is a screw that you can use to set the idle faster (through the simple mechanism of slightly opening the plate at idle). I go 1000-1200. This cures all kinds of issues caused by old alternators, power steering pumps and covers up a few engine issues. I know this is technically "ignoring the problem" but a stupid idea that works isnt stupid.....
