Default Very low Idle**have done all the checks**

my Car idles fine at start up but as soon as i am sitting at a stop sign or a red light the idle drops to around 400-500rpm, then it will eventually drop to around 200rpm. I have cleaned the IACV and the FITV and adjusted the idle screw in the FITV and still have this problem. My injectors are not the problem either(saw on another forum that they could have play a role in a bad idle)

Someone help please. I have a link to a video i took of my idle issue, as you can see it is idling way to low and it sounds like its almost just gonna cut off every time it drops to like 200rpm. I have no clue where to start next...

Are all your vaccum lines hooked up in the right stop, because my car use to run fine until I stop and it would drop to 200 rpms and kill sometimes and once I got my lines in the right stop and readjusted my idle and I was fine.

Nevermind, your rpms are normal mine idles at 750 bc my chip in my ecu is set to idle at that, thats normal. Mine idles around that maybe about 50 to 100 more rpms.
